\*Hello there, I happen to have an annoying problem.

I have a function, db\_create($table\_as\_string, $assoc\_array).

db\_create simply takes the table-var and the assoc, and turns it into a most wonderful query, but when I attempt to perform mysql\_query($query) it doesn’t affect anything, at all.

When I, however, echo the query and copy it into phpMyAdmin by hand, it works like a charm. any ideas?\*

Oh, nevermind, I got a reply from elsewhere.  
My beginner’s mistake was simply that I’d attempted to use $connection, without passing it into the function.
