Change : or die("Unable to INSERT to database");
To     : or die(mysql_error());

And see what it tells you.  Odds are there's a field not being accounted
for.  When not designating columns (just values) it's important to make
sure all columns are accounted for.  See :

    http://www.sqlcourse.com/

It'll provide some basic SQL help.  It's recommended to write out columns
and values (easier to make sense of).
