what am i doing wrong? nothing gets inserted:

```auto
<?php

require_once('connVars.php');

$entryName = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['entryName']);
$entryLat = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['entryLat']);
$entryLong = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['entryLong']);
$entryPic = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['entryPic']);
$entryType = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['entryType']);
$entryType2 = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['entryType2']);
$entryDesc = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['entryDesc']);
$entryLocID = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[['entryLocID']);
$entryCreator = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['entryCreator']);

$sql = "INSERT INTO entries (entryName, entryCreated, entryLat, entryLong, entryDesc, entryOPic, category1, category2, entryLocID, entryCreator) VALUES('$entryName', NOW(), '$entryLat', '$entryLong', '$entryDesc', '$entryPic', '$entryType', '$entryType2', '$entryLocID', '$entryCreator')";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

if($result)
{
echo "param=success";
}else{
echo "param=error";
}

?>

```
