mysql_select_db("forum", $con);

HI. I don't know if this will help you but here is how I have inserted similar info to a database:

mysql_query("INSERT INTO 'forum'.'reg_info'  (Username, Password, Comfirm_pass, Name, Comment) VALUES ('$_POST[Username]', '$_POST[Password]', '$_POST[Confirm_pass]', '$_POST[Name]', '$_POST[Comment]')")

Otherwise I think you would have to specify what the definitions are.
EG.

$Username = $_POST[Username];
$Password = $_POST[Password];
$Confirmpass = $_POST[Confirm_pass];
$Name = $_POST[Name];
$Comment = $_POST[Comment];

This would have to be before the SQL query.

I hope that this may be of some help. There probably more knowledgeable people on the forum, but at least I tried.

Most problems with inserts have to do with the use of quotes in queries and datatypes. Do any of the fields in the query have a numeric datatype? If so, they will not require a single quote around them in the query.

HI again. I copied your files and tested them. I have got the following PHP code to work for me. This would be saved as: reg_forminsert.php

<?

  $server	= "localhost";       // the database location (usually this will be localhost)
  $dbusername	= "root";	// the database user with all rights to the database
  $dbpassword	= "";		// the database password to the above user
  $db_name	= "forums";         // the name of the database

$con = @mysql_connect($server,$dbusername,$dbpassword) or die(mysql_error());

$table_name = "reg_info";

if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}

echo "connection successful<br />";

$db = @mysql_select_db($db_name,$con) or die(mysql_error());

$sql = "INSERT INTO $table_name  (Username, Password, Comfirm_pass, Name, Comment) VALUES ('$_POST[Username]', '$_POST[Password]', '$_POST[Confirmpass]', '$_POST[Name]', '$_POST[Comment]')";

$result = @mysql_query($sql,$con)or die(mysql_error());

echo "Record Inserted<br />";
mysql_close($con); 

?>

I hope this will help you. There may be better ways of doing this but this is how I have been doing it for my projects.
