query 1

function update_record()

    $sql="insert into datas.market set title='".stripslashes($title)."',info='".stripslashes($description)."',graphics='"$image."',source_link='".$link."'";
    mysql_query($sql);
}

query 2

function update_record()
{
    $sql="insert into market set title='".stripslashes($title)."',info='".stripslashes($description)."',graphics='"$image."',source_link='".$link."'";
    mysql_query($sql);
}

Answer 1

The only difference between the first query and the second query is that you are explicitly specifying the database name {datas} in the first query and your query works.

So you have not selected the database using after connecting.

mysql_select_db('datas');
