This error means that in your table there is no column named text. To fix this, either rename the field you wish to update/insert to text, or figure out which column you really wish to update/insert the text into.

Since your field is going to be updating/inserting a string, you need to also make sure you wrap the string in quotes.

INSERT INTO `table` (`val1`,`val2`) VALUES('".$val1."','".$val2."')
