Below is the the code where I am trying to to update my food items into the database but am failing to do it, any corrections will be helpful. Thanks in advance

<?php 

// set database server access variables: 
$host = "localhost"; 
$user = "root"; 
$pass = ""; 
$db = "onlinefs"; 
// open connection 
$connection = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die ("Unable to 

connect!"); 

// select database 
mysql_select_db($db) or die ("Unable to select database!"); 


if (isset($_POST['description']))
{
	$descript = $_POST['description'];
	$price = (double)$_POST['price'];

	//$insertQuery = "INSERT INTO foodlist (description) 

VALUES ('".$descript."')";
	$insertQuery = "description...";
	//$insertQuery = "SELECT * foodlist (price) VALUES 

('".$price."')";
	$insertQuery = "price...";
	$result = mysql_query($insertQuery);
}	

echo '<strong><br />'.$insertQuery.'</strong><br />';
// create query 
$query = "SELECT * FROM foodlist ";
$insertQuery = "price...";
	$result = mysql_query($insertQuery);
// execute query 
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Error in query: $query. 

".mysql_error()); 

// see if any rows were returned 
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) { 
    // yes 
    // print them one after another 
    echo "<table cellpadding=10 border=1>"; 
    while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { 
        echo "<tr>"; 
        echo "<td>".$row[0]."</td>"; 
        echo "<td>" . $row[1]."</td>"; 
        echo "<td>".$row[2]."</td>"; 
        echo "</tr>"; 
    } 
    echo "</table>"; 
} 
else { 
    // no 
    // print status message 
    echo "No rows found!"; 
} 

// free result set memory 
mysql_free_result($result);
