id (PRIMARY_KEY, AUTO_INCREMENT)

deviceID (TEXT)

name (TEXT)

latitude (TEXT)

longitude (TEXT)

Thats the Structure and the name of the Database is position

This is my query but it just doesent work.

$deviceID = $_POST['deviceID'];
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $latitude = $_POST['latitude'];
    $longitude = $_POST['longitude'];

$result = mysql_query("INSERT INTO position(deviceID, name, latitude, longitude) VALUES('$deviceID', '$name', '$latitude', '$longitude')");

Position is a function name in MySQL: you should escape it using backticks (`), and you need to add a space between position and the parentheses.

$result = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `position` (deviceID, name, latitude, longitude) VALUES('$deviceID', '$name', '$latitude', '$longitude')");
