[blankextacy 0]

oh sorry but i wouldnt know.. and are you planning on setting up that form into a table? cuz right now it looks all messy lol here put it like this:
[code]<form method="post" action="submit.php">
<table width="350">
<tr><td>Video name:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="name"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Email:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="email"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Username:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="user"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Picture link:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="pic">(Http://www.site.com/pic.jpg)</td></tr>
<tr><td>Video link:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="link">(Http://www.site.com/link.vid)</td></tr>
<tr><td>Type:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="type">(fight)</td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td><input type="submit" value="Submit"></td></tr>
</table>
</form>[/code]
;D

i think the problem might have something to do with how you put two actions in the form.. and then you called for the submit action in the php script.. what i would do is have the form and then have the action go to like process.php and make that page with the script

this could be your script with the form:
[code]
<form method="post" action="process.php">
<table width="350">
<tr><td>Video name:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="name"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Email:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="email"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Username:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="user"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Picture link:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="pic">(Http://www.site.com/pic.jpg)</td></tr>
<tr><td>Video link:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="link">(Http://www.site.com/link.vid)</td></tr>
<tr><td>Type:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="type">(fight)</td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td><input type="submit" value="Submit"></td></tr>
</table>
</form>
[/code]
and have your process page like this:
[code]
<?php include("config.php"); ?>
<?php
//Your going to need to change the form input into variables
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$user = $_POST['user'];
$pic = $_POST['pic'];
$link = $_POST['link'];

if (!$name || !$email || !$user || !$pic || !$link ) {
print "You must fill out all fields.";

exit;
}
$dupe1 = mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("select * from videos where link='$link'"));
if ($dupe1 > 0) {
print "Someone is using that link!";

exit;
}
$dupe2 = mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("select * from videos where name='$name'"));
if ($dupe2 > 0) {
print "That name is being used!";

exit;

}
mysql_query("insert into players (name, email, user, pic, link, type, submitted)

values('$name','$email','$user','$pic','$link','$type','date('m/d/Y') ')") or die("Could not Submit.");
print "You're video has been submitted.";
}
?>
[/code]
try this..

Try this, should give you an error msg on the querys if they fail:
[code]

<?php

include("config.php");

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
if(!empty($_POST['name']) && !empty($_POST['email']) && !empty($_POST['user']) && !empty($_POST['pic']) && !empty($_POST['link']) && !empty($_POST['type']))
{
foreach($_POST as $name => $value)
{
  ${$name} = htmlspecialchars($value);
}
$time = date('m/d/Y');

$sql = mysql_query("select * from videos where link='$link'") or die(mysql_error());
if(mysql_num_rows($sql) == 0)
{
$sql2 = mysql_query("select * from videos where name='$name'") or die(mysql_error());
if(mysql_num_rows($sql2) == 0)
{
$insert = mysql_query("insert into players (name, email, user, pic, link, type, submitted) values('$name','$email','$user','$pic','$link','$type','$time')") or die(mysql_error());
if($insert)
{
print "<p>You're video has been submitted.</p>";
$done = true; // hide form
}
else
{
print "<p>An error occured during the insert statement</p>";
}
}
else
{
print "<p>That name is being used!</p>";
}
}
else
{
print "<p>Someone is using that link!</p>";
}
}
else
{
print "<p>You must fill out all fields.</p>";
}
}

if(!$done)
{
echo <<<_HTML

[quote]no , its not that its something in the mysql coding im guessing[/quote]

Then stop guessing and start debugging! As Alpine has demonstrated, its not too difficult to test your queries for error using the [i]or die(mysql_error())[/i] method. Its also often handy to store your sql statements in a string and thern echo() them so you can see what the database will actually be sent.
