The form works. Almost. The first field (Character="name") is the only one that won't accept the value and won't insert the data into the db. What is it that I'm missing?

 

The main page:

<?php
session_start();
include("connect.php");
?> 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Twenty Questions</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="builder2.css" media="screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="printbuilder.css" media="print" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="header">
<span class="title">The Ultimate Character Builder</span><br />
<h3>Part 2<br />
Twenty Questions</h3>
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="left">

<?php 
include_once("left.inc");
?>

</div>
<div class="content">

<?php  
$user=$_SESSION['username'];

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { 

    $sql = "SELECT * FROM twentyquestions WHERE username = '$user'";
    $query = mysql_query($sql) or die (mysql_error(). " with query : ". $sql."<br>");
	$num=mysql_num_rows($query);

      if ($num<1){

      $user = $_SESSION['username']; 
	$name = $_POST['character_name'];
  $q1a = $_POST['1a'];
	$q1b = $_POST['1b'];
	$q2a = $_POST['2a'];
	$q2b = $_POST['2b'];

      $query = "INSERT INTO twentyquestions (username, character_name, 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, ) 
VALUES ('$user','$name', '$q1a', '$q1b', '$q2a', '$q2b')";

$update=mysql_query($query) or die("<br>Error: ". mysql_error(). " with query : ". $query);

echo "<span style='color:#330099;'><h3 align='center'>Information saved!</h3></span>";
    }
    else{

	$user = $_SESSION['username']; 
	$name = $_POST['character_name'];
	$q1a = $_POST['1a'];
	$q1b = $_POST['1b'];
	$q2a = $_POST['2a'];
	$q2b = $_POST['2b'];  

       $query = "UPDATE twentyquestions SET character_name='$name', 1a='$q1a', 1b='$q1b', 
2a='$q2a', 2b='$q2b' WHERE username = '$user'";


$update=mysql_query($query) or die("<br>Error: ". mysql_error(). " with query : ". $query); 

echo "<span style='color:#330099;'><h3 align='center'>Form updaded successfully.</h3></span>"; 

$query = "SELECT * FROM twentyquestions WHERE username='$user'";
$result= mysql_query($query);
$info=mysql_fetch_array($result) or die (mysql_error());

	$name = $info['character_name'];
	$q1a = $info['1a'];
	$q1b = $info['1b'];
	$q2a = $info['2a'];
	$q2b = $info['2b'];
   
}
    }

$sql = "SELECT * FROM twentyquestions WHERE username = '$user'";
    $query = mysql_query($sql) or die (mysql_error(). " with query : ". $sql."<br>");
	$num=mysql_num_rows($query);

      if ($num!==0){

      $query = "SELECT * FROM twentyquestions WHERE username='$user'";
$result= mysql_query($query);
$info=mysql_fetch_array($result) or die (mysql_error());

	$name = $info['character_name'];
	$q1a = $info['1a'];
	$q1b = $info['1b'];
	$q2a = $info['2a'];
	$q2b = $info['2b'];

echo "<form action=".$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']." method='post'>";
include("basicquestions.php");
}

else {
echo "<form action=".$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']." method='post'>";
include("basicquestions.php");
}

?> 

</table>
</form>
</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
</div>
</body>
</html>

 

The form itself:

 

<table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3" summary="Twenty Questions" align="center">

<tr class="hide"><td colspan="4"><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
</td></tr>

<tr><td colspan="4" align="center"><h3>List of Conflicts</h3></td></tr>

<tr><td> </td><td align="right"><b>Character:</b></td><td>
<textarea rows="1" cols="25" name="character_name"><?php echo $name?></textarea></td><td> </td></tr>

<tr><td></td><td><b>External</b></td><td><b>Internal</b></td><td></td></tr>

<tr><td>1</td><td>
<textarea rows="2" cols="25" name="1a"><?php echo $q1a?></textarea></td><td>
<textarea rows="2" cols="25" name="1b"><?php echo $q1b?></textarea></td><td></td></tr>

<tr><td>2</td><td>
<textarea rows="2" cols="25" name="2a"><?php echo $q2a?></textarea></td><td>
<textarea rows="2" cols="25" name="2b"><?php echo $q2b?></textarea></td><td></td></tr>

<tr><td> </td><td colspan="3"><center>
<?php 
    echo "<input type='submit' name='submit'>";
?>
</center></td></tr>

That's the thing. I'm not getting errors. I can post from all the other fields and the data gets into the db, except for the first field ($name='character_name').

 

I can't see what's wrong, either. I'm not getting any mysql errors.
