OK.  This sounds great, but now I am getting a completely different
error message.

You have an error in your SQL syntax near '-sys) VALUES('sn4265-turner')' at
line 1

        Here is the INSERT statement:

$query = "INSERT INTO accounts (id-sys) VALUES('".$accnts[0]."')";

        Do I have to rename the column?  I would rather not if I can avoid
it.  If I must, is this a problem with PHP or MySQL not understanding '-' in
a column name?  Thanks again.

For the OP, you don't really want to insert the text TIMESTAMP(10) into
a
column, do you? If you want the current 10-digit timestamp, then you can
just use NOW() or CURRENT_DATE, so long as your column is declared with
a
width of 10. In fact, if it's a timestamp, you don't need to do
anything,
it'll be updated with the current time upon insert. so you could
probably
just do this:

$query = "INSERT INTO accounts (accnts) VALUES (".$accnts[0].")";
