Assign all these values '$good_data[Custnombre]','$good_data[Custemail]','$good_data[8x10]','.... to a variable and try again! And, shouldn't it be $good_data instead of $good_data[8x10] ?

Btw, next time you post your code, please post it within [/code ] tags.[code =php] [/code ] tags.

ok, sorry, and thanks for the help
Will try that out.

I continue to get the following error when running the my php script.

(code=php ) (/code ) without the extra whitespace :-/ .
Anyway, Instead of

VALUES ('$good_data[Custnombre]','$good_data[Custemail]','$good_data[8x10]','$good_data[8x10quantity]', '$good_data[8x12]','$good_data[8x12quantity]','$good_data[10x12]','$good_data[10x12quantity]', '$good_data[12x12]','$good_data[12x12quantity]','$good_data[12x16]','$good_data[12x16quantity]', '$good_data[18x18]','$good_data[18x18quantity]','$good_data[18x24]','$good_data[18x24quantity]', '$good_data[20x24]','$good_data[20x24quantity]','$good_data[24x36]','$good_data[24x36quantity]', '$good_data[24x48]','$good_data[24x48quantity]','$good_data[36x48]','$good_data[36x48quantity]', '$good_data[photorealistic]','$good_data[painted]','$good_data[addsvc1]','$good_data[addsvc2]', '$good_data[addsvc3]','$good_data[addsvc4]','$good_data[imagedetails]', '$good_data[imagefile]','$good_data[fileownership]', '$good_data[shipping]','$good_data[address]')";

Use

$val1, $val2, $val3,... where $val1,$val2,$val3 is $good_data['8x10'],$good_data['Custemail'], etc..

normally if you are going to use array elements inside of an SQL query string you need to put curly braces around them.

VALUES ('{$good_data['Custnombre']}')

Although using array elements isn't really the best way like nav33n said above you really should assign them to regular variables.

also you need to use some sort of quotation mark inside the array elements calls for example
$good_data[[B]'[/B]custnombre[B]'[/B]] otherwise you get errors.
