try this instead:

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root")
  or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("mysite", $con)
  or die('Could not select DB: ' . mysql_error($con));
$survey_ip = mysql_real_escape_string($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
$survey_agent = mysql_real_escape_string($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
$s = "INSERT INTO survey VALUES('$survey_ip','$survey_agent')";
mysql_query($s,$con)
  or die('Failed to insert IP: ' . mysql_error($con));
echo "IP Stored";
?>

 

i added some more error checking and escaped the values before they are inserted
