I am having trouble inserting records into an MySQL table via browser. I am able to run the script just fine at the unix prompt. I've checked that the parameters are being passed correctly. When I run it via browser, it seems to perform fine but no records were inserted. I don't know what else to check or do. Please help..... Here's the part that doesn't work: note: donorssn is an integer, regdt is a date, everything else is varchar $dbh->do("insert into registration (donorssn,donordob,regdt,donorname,password,question,answer,email,phone) VALUES($ssn,'$dob','$x','$dname','$pwd','$question','$ans','$email','$ph')"); if(!$dbh) { $err = "Error:" . $dbh->errstr . "\n"; } else { $err = " Thank you for registering online

Please contact the Oklahoma Blood Institute at 1-800-827-5693 for more information"; $rpath = "/obi/register.html"; } Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated. If you would like to try it out or view the complete script, please email me directly at hoayap@swbell.net.
