HINT: There's another function in the PHP mysql (deprecated, BTW) library. It's called mysql_error(), and it prints out the last error mysql encountered. Might come in handy here, as well as not suppressing errors/warnings with the @ sign.

INSERT INTO leads ('agentID

 

What's that ' doing in there?

If you want to insert current date and time to database, you can use mysql NOW() fuction with your insert query.

 

Try this.

$qry = "INSERT INTO leads ( agentID, customerName, customerAddress, homePhone, altPhone, loanAmount, 
			    monthlyPayment, paymentPeriod, ssn, dl, sid, monthlyIncome, lastPayday, 
			    nextPayday, dob, transferNumber, applicationNumber, comments, date_time
			  ) VALUES 
			  ('$agentID', '$customerName', '$customerAddress', '$homePhone', '$altPhone', 
			   '$loanAmount', '$monthlyPayment', '$repaymentPeriod', '$ssn', '$dl', '$sid', 
			   '$monthlyIncome', '$lastPayday', '$nextPayday', '$dob', '$transferNumber', 
			   '$applicationNumber', '$comments', now())";

Side note: Please, don't use mysql_* functions in new code. They are no longer maintained and are officially deprecated, read this . Learn about prepared statements  instead, and use PDO or MySQLi  - this article  will help you decide which.

if it is not inserting what is the error message ? 

[jcbones]

Change this line:

 

$result = @mysql_query($qry);

To:

$result = mysql_query($qry) or trigger_error(mysql_error());

 

Make sure your error reporting is on, if it isn't then use:

 

$result = mysql_query($qry) or exit(mysql_error());
