Question

I am trying to insert a record into my database. here is my php code for doing that:

mysql_query("INSERT INTO answers(answer)
        VALUES('answer')");
        if(mysql_affected_rows() > 0) {
            echo "Reply successful!";
        } else {
            echo "We were not able to add your reply.";
            exit();
        }

i made sure that i am connected to my db. i tried this on another page where i knew my sql would run, and it still didn’t insert the record…
