RE: very newbie insert question
I always use
INSERT INTO table SET field1='value', field2='value', etc...
If I don't specify fields like an auto-incrementing number, it is filled in
automatically.

Subject: very newbie insert question
This is my first script, so I am sorry it is so newbie-ish.
I think I have the correct script to open the connection, open the database
and the table. However, I cannot get the "insert into" to work. I have read
several online sources and books, all of which are slightly different. It is
not a parse error. Can you help?
Thanks

Re: very newbie insert question
One only needs to specify the column names if and only if there are not
values, in the correct order, for all of the columns in the table.
That is:
Create Table foo (
aid intnot nullprimary key,
last varchar(30),
firstvarchar(30),
emailvarchar(60)
);
Right:
Insert Into foo Values (1, '$lastname', '$firstname', '$email');
Insert Into foo (last, first, email) Values ('$lastname', '$firstname',
'$email');
Wrong:
Insert Into foo Values ('$lastname', '$firstname', '$email');

I did not see the full schema so I can't give you a definite answer.
However, your syntax is wrong:
INSERT INTO email_addresses (last_name, first_name, email_address) VALUES
("$lastname", "$firstname", "$email_address");
For each value you specify, you also have to specify a column name.
Did you set it up so the email_address field is the primary key?
HTH.
