You never close this block

if (isset( $_POST['payrec']) ) 
          {

I agree, just close that block and that will be ok.

thanks. that puts me a little closer

Thanks for your help. I was neglecting this section:

INSERT INTO oocust (pd,payrec,ordernum,invnum,bname,bstreet,bstate,bcity,bzip,sname,sstreet,sstate,scity,szip,contact,terms,fob,shipdate,shipamt,dateord,datecomp,duedate,datepaid,qty,desc,charges,paidamt,
dayslate,tax,amtdue,paidsum)

'$charges','$paidamt','$dayslate','$tax','$amtdue','$paidsum')";

I made the above corrections but still got the below message:

data inserted
Query failed: 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 'desc,charges,paidamt, dayslate,tax,amtdue,paidsum) VALUES('','','','','','',''' at line 1

I've spent the longest pouring over this and do not see the error in the above code ?

The variables that make up your VAULE part don't exits at this point in the script.
You create them later in the block

if (isset( $_POST['payrec']) )
      {
      $pd=$_POST['pd'];
      $payrec=$_POST['payrec'];
       ...
      }

so move this blok to the top of your script
