Hey,

If that does't work have you thought of using a .flv movie file and progressivley downloading it from the server? It will require the use of flash but it works a treat.

I've hilighted your errors in red

values([color=red]"[/color]'$name','$email','$user','$pic','$link','$type','[color=red]date("m/d/Y)[/color] ') ") or die([color=red]Could not Submit.[/color]);


1 ) remove the double quote at start of values

2 ) several errors here

  a ) you cant drop a function call into a string like that. Either put the result into a variable and put that in the string or use concatenation "blah " . date('m/d/y') . " blahblah"

  b ) date format string needs to be enclosed in quotes

  c ) don't store dates in m/d/y format, use Y-m-d

3 ) the error message should be in quotes.
