This is a private message system. It should be inserting data into the table, but it is not at all.. Thanks for the help.

Sql Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘from, body, subject, date_sent VALUES(‘itunes89′,’itunes89′,’sd’,’s’,’9-05-2012 ‘ at line 1

$sql = "INSERT INTO pm_inbox (to_user, from, body,subject,date_sent)VALUES('$userIdFromPost','$user','$body','$sub','$date')";
mysql_query($sql);
echo "Error: " . mysql_error($con);
echo "<br/>Inserted: '$userIdFromPost','$user','$body','$sub','$date'";

    You missed a ) after your column list. Please refrain from using mysql_ functions. Use prepared statements with either mysqli or PDO like so:

    $stmt = $mysqli->prepare("INSERT INTO pm_inbox (to_user, from, body, subject, date_sent) VALUES(?,?,?,?,?)"); 
$stmt->bind_param($userIdFromPost,$user,$body,$sub,$date);

    Further, from is a reserved name in MySQL. It needs to be encased like so:

    (to_user, `from`, body, subject, date_sent)
