DanWhite Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 If I understand your question correctly, $rowname = $_POST["category"]; $inserted_stuff = $_POST["link"]; /* For col name- */ mysql_query("INSERT INTO table ($rowname)VALUES('$inserted_stuff')); /* Or for table name */ mysql_query("INSERT INTO $rowname (colname)VALUES('$inserted_stuff')); --- Dan White UK based PHP developer & web designer. http://Dans-Media.com Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/263041-inserting-data-into-the-database-using-an-option-from-a-list-button/#findComment-1348869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
