Hi Larry, Thank you very much for the very quick response, I set my php.ini
file (located /etc/php.ini ) for the register_globals = On (it was off by
default)
Now however I get an error
Error adding entry: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 's spanish
driver is found shot dead, Inspector Jacques Clouseau is the first off' at
line 8
My Database is a movie database of my dvd's that I own (for insurance
reasons)
My addmovie.php is this
<?
mysql_connect("localhost","username","password");
mysql_select_db("movies");
$add = "INSERT INTO movies SET
movie_name='$movie_name',
genre='$genre',
director='$director',
star1='$star1',
star2='$star2',
star3='$star3',
brief_synopsis='$brief_synopsis',
imdb_link='$imdb_link'";
if (@mysql_query($add))
{
echo("<p>Your entry has been added. <br>
$movie_name</p>");
}
else
{
echo("<p>Error adding entry: " .
mysql_error() . "</p>");
}
?>
And the addmovie.htm page (atleast the form action is this)
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<form method="post" action="addmovie.php" name="addmovies">
<table width="300" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2"
bordercolordark="#FF0033" bordercolorlight="#FFFF66">
<tr>
<td width="41%" bgcolor="#999999">Movie Name </td>
<td width="59%" bgcolor="#99FFCC">
<input type="text" name="movie_name">
</td>
</tr>

Without seeing any code whatsoever and since this worked before but no
longer works on a new install, I can only assume that your code was written
with the assumption that register_globals was turned on and it's not on in
your current configuration.
If that is the case, see the PHP manual or search the Web for the solution
($_POST, $_GET, etc.).
