Problem with PHP script for uploading to DB

Title says it all. Here is the error I get:

Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '','1-11-111-11-11-11111','',now())' at line 1

Upload script looks like this:

if($_POST['doSubmit'] == 'Add Distributor')
{

if (!$link)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}

$name_dist=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['name_dist']);
$address_dist=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['address_dist']);
$city_dist=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['city_dist']);
$state_dist=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['state_dist']);
$zip_dist=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['zip_dist']);
$phone_dist=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['phone_dist']);
$ffl_dist=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['ffl_dist']);
$dob_dist=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['dob_dist']);
$sql="INSERT INTO `distributors` (name_dist,address_dist,city_dist,state_dist,zip_dist,phone_dist,ffl_dist,dob_dist,dateAdded_dist) VALUES ('$name_dist','$address_dist','$city_dist','$state_dist','$zip_dist',$phone_dist','$ffl_dist','$dob_dist',now())"; 

if (!mysql_query($sql,$link)) {
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo "<div class=\"msg\">New Distributor Added....done.</div>";			 
}

Form looks like this:

          <p><?php 
	  				   if(!empty($msg)) {
	  					 	 echo $msg[0];
	  					 } ?></p>
      <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="2" class="myaccount">
        <tr>
          <td style="text-align:right"><form name="addNew" id="addNew" method="post" action="distributors.php">Name of Distributor or Consignor: </td>
          <td style="text-align:left"><input name="name_dist" type="text" id="name_dist" size="40" class="required"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
        	<td style="text-align:right">Street: </td>
          <td style="text-align:left"><input name="address_dist" type="text"  size="40" class="required" id="address_dist"></td>
				</tr>
        <tr>
        	<td style="text-align:right">City: </td>
          <td style="text-align:left"><input name="city_dist" type="text"  size="40" class="required" id="city_dist"></td>
				</tr>
        <tr>
        	<td style="text-align:right">State: </td>
          <td style="text-align:left"><input name="state_dist" type="text"  size="40" class="required" id="state_dist"></td>
				</tr>
        <tr>
        	<td style="text-align:right">Zip: </td>
          <td style="text-align:left"><input name="zip_dist" type="text"  size="40" class="required" id="zip_dist"></td>
				</tr>
        <tr>
        	<td style="text-align:right">Phone Number: </td>
          <td style="text-align:left"><input name="phone_dist" type="text" id="phone_dist" size="40" class="required"></td>
				</tr>
        <tr>
        	<td style="text-align:right">FFL: </td>
          <td style="text-align:left"><input name="ffl_dist" type="text" id="ffl_dist" size="40"></td>
				</tr>
        <tr>
        	<td style="text-align:right">DOB if no FFL: </td>
          <td style="text-align:left"><input name="dob_dist" type="text" id="dob_dist" size="40"></td>
				</tr>        
        <tr>
        	<td colspan="2" style="text-align:center"><input name="doSubmit" type="submit" id="doSubmit" value="Add Distributor"></form></td>
				</tr>        
      </table>

DB table looks like this:

  `id_dist` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name_dist` varchar(255) COLLATE latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
  `address_dist` text COLLATE latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
  `city_dist` varchar(100) COLLATE latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
  `state_dist` varchar(2) COLLATE latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
  `zip_dist` int(5) NOT NULL,
  `phone_dist` varchar(255) COLLATE latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
  `ffl_dist` varchar(255) COLLATE latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
  `dob_dist` varchar(10) COLLATE latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
  `dateAdded_dist` date NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id_dist`),
  UNIQUE KEY `name_dist` (`name_dist`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COLLATE=latin1_general_ci AUTO_INCREMENT=9 ;

Any ideas on why I am getting that error?  I have other forms that use this same setup and they work fine so I am not sure what I am missing or have done wrong.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Clint

You left off a quote before $phone_dist in the query

 

$sql="INSERT INTO `distributors` (name_dist,address_dist,city_dist,state_dist,zip_dist,phone_dist,ffl_dist,dob_dist,dateAdded_dist) VALUES ('$name_dist','$address_dist','$city_dist','$state_dist','$zip_dist','$phone_dist','$ffl_dist','$dob_dist',now())";

                                                                     ^

                                                                 missing quote
