Muddy_Funster Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 your problem is that you are not checking to see if the form has been submitted before running the insert, you also have no validation or sanitization on the form inputs. As a starting point it's not three bad though, also please use code tags when posting code - it makes everything much easier to read.
