I am getting a mysql error near values(. Can anyone see why?

  $dbh->do("INSERT INTO storage (url, altavista, yahoo, msn, teoma, go
+ogle, alltheweb,Total, lastsearch, totalsearch) values($url, $altavis
+ta_results, $yahoo_results, $msn_results, $teoma_results, $google_res
+ults, $alltheweb_results, $total,$time, $total)") unless $dbh->do(UPD
+ATE storage SET (url = "$url", altavista = "$altavista_results", yaho
+o = "$yahoo_results", msn = "$msn_results", teoma = "$teoma_results",
+ google = "$google_results", alltheweb = "$alltheweb_results", total 
+= total +1, time="$time") > 0;

It was suggested that I use placeholders, and I normally do but I'm not sure how to apply them to a $dbh->do. I usually use three lines to insert mysql data, not one.

Originally there were quotes around all variables in the values() but I took them out thinking they were the problem.
