back to basics

Hi,

I am trying to pass a ID value through a form.
I'm getting the id value into a function, the function holds the form.
I then want the form to read the id value then $_POST it into a variable,
which is then stored into a database.

I've done this sooo many times before but its not working.

Could someone take a quick look.
I know the answer is right under my nose.

Thanks

<?php
session_start();

function add_comments($view_id) {
$user_profile = $_SESSION['username'];
$id = $view_id;

$comError = array();

if (!empty($_POST['comssubmit'])) {
if ($_POST['title']=='')
$comError['title'] = 'Add title';
if ($_POST['coms']=='')
$comError['coms'] = 'Add Comments';

if (count($comError) == 0) {

$sql= mysql_query("SELECT * FROM user_info WHERE username='$user_profile'") or die ('could not connect');
$row1 = mysql_fetch_array($sql);
$id = $row1['id'];

$title = addslashes($_POST['title']);
$coms = addslashes($_POST['coms']);
$date = date("Y-m-d");
$contact_id = $_POST['id'];


$link = '<a href="../edit.php" class="link">Return to profile</a>';

$sql1= mysql_query("INSERT INTO comments (user_id, contact_id, title, coms, date) VALUES ('$id', '$contact_id', '$title', '$coms', '$date')");
if ($sql1) {
$ok = 'Your details have been updated,<br>'.$link.'';
} else {
$notOk = "Sorry, there was an Error";
}

} else {
if (empty($title) || empty($coms)) {
foreach ($comError as $error) {
$strError .= '<div class="error">';
$strError .= "<li>$error</li>";
}
$strError .= '</div>';
}

}
}

$coms_query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM comments WHERE user_id='$id'") or die ('could not connect1');
$row = mysql_fetch_array($coms_query);

NO, No error.

It uploads all of the fields into the database apart from into 'contact_id'.

This feild should get the id value which come into the function.
add_comments($view_id)

But i can seem to get it from there, into the INSERT query.

Any ideas
