Question

The form submits correctly and it sends me an email. No error is reported and the SQL it creates works fine, I tested it at phpMyAdmin. mysql_error() raises nothing, it just doesn’t add a row. Can anyone see what’s going on?

<?PHP 

$to = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "New Lead"; 
$date = date ("l, F jS, Y"); 
$time = date ("h:i A");
$mysql = mysql_connect("db.perfora.net:3306","db","password");

if(!$mysql)
{
    die("Could Not Connect: ".mysql_error());
}

mysql_select_db("db",$mysql);



if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") { 
    $name = $_POST['firstname']." ".$_POST['lastname'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $phone = "(".$_POST['areacode'].") ".$_POST['firstthree']."-".$_POST['lastfour'];
    $area = $_POST['area'];
    $lookdate = $_POST['lmm']."/".$_POST['ldd']."/".$_POST['lyyyy'];
    $lookdatedb = date("{$_POST['lmm']}.{$_POST['ldd']}.{$_POST['lyyyy']}");
    $movedate = $_POST['mmm']."/".$_POST['mdd']."/".$_POST['myyyy'];
    $movedatedb = date("{$_POST['mmm']}.{$_POST['mdd']}.{$_POST['myyyy']}");
    $loft = $_POST['loft'] ? "loft" : "";
    $highrise = $_POST['highrise'] ? "highrise" : "";
    $traditional = $_POST['traditional'] ? "traditional" : "";
    $price = $_POST['price'];
    $comments = $_POST['comments'];

$sql = "INSERT INTO Leads 
            (Name, Email, Phone, Area, LookDate, MoveDate, Loft, HighRise, Traditional, Price, Comments) 
            VALUES 
            ('$name', '$email', '$phone', '$area', '$lookdatedb', '$movedatedb', '{$_POST['loft']}', '{$_POST['highrise']}', '{$_POST['traditional']}', '$price', '$comments')";

if (mysql_query($sql,$con))
{
  echo "Row added.";
}
else
{
  echo "Error adding row: " . mysql_error();
  echo("\n\n".$sql);
}


$msg = "
    New Lead Submitted On $date at $time.\n\n

    Name: $name\n
    Email: $email\n
    Phone: $phone\n
    Area: $area\n
    Look Date: $lookdate\n
    Move Date: $movedate\n
    Type: $loft $highrise $traditional \n
    Price: $price\n
    Comments: $comments\n


";  

}
mysql_close($mysql);
mail($to, $subject, $msg, "From:$email"); 
if ($forward == 1) { 
    header ("Location:$location"); 
} 
else { 
    echo "Thank you for submitting our form. We will get back to you as soon as possible."; 
} 

?>

Response:

Thank you for submitting our form. We will get back to you as soon as possible.

Generated SQL:

INSERT INTO Leads (Name, Email, Phone, Area, LookDate, MoveDate, Loft, HighRise, Traditional, Price, Comments) VALUES ('work work', '[e-mail]', '[phone]', 'dallas', '02.18.2010', '02.25.2010', '', '1', '1', '$333333333333333333', '33fdsdfsdfsd')

Let’s see, your DB connection handle is obviously referenced by $mysql, but you’ve done this:

if (mysql_query($sql,$con))

Your DB handler is wrong.
