Thank you for the thought, however, I don't have a shell that I can run in, 
hence, I have to rely on help from others.

   Sorry I have been out of touch...  I thought I had this problem beat,

 couldn't execute...  Can anyone tell me where I screwed this one up??

 Print out $sql and then try to manually do it in your mysql (or whatver DB 
 engine) shell.

 I imagine you have a syntax error and that will tell you exactly what and 
 where it is :)

 And I hope you're only criteria for the value of each colum isn't that its 
 just not empty.

 If so you will be vilnerable to SQL injection attacks and your data will 
 be compromised. You should at the very least quote the values with a valid 
 SQL quoting function. (IE not just wraping it in quotes but one that 
 actually escapes certain characters and wraps it in quotes as need be)

 Do not rely on that automaticaly being done (IE think how crappliy 
 unreliable and dangerous relying on Magic Quotes is, oi what pile *that* 
 is...)
