PHP blog

1

I’m building my own little blog app for my May 1st reboot and I’ve run into a small issue with the user comments. At the moment I’m just building the form to submit them but there seems to be an error in the submit comments loop. The file is attached so if anyone could take a look and perhaps suggest a fix I’d be very grateful.

Thanks all.

<?php
include ("php/conn.php");  
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $conTable WHERE id=$id";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die("<p>Failed to select categories</p>" . $sql . "<br />" . mysql_error()); 
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
		  $id = $row["id"];
		  $blogID = $row["id"];
		  $date = date("D tS F",$row["timestamp"]);
	$title = $row["title"];
	$summaryContent = $row["summaryContent"];
	$mainContent = $row["mainContent"];
} 
if ($_POST[submitComment] != "") { 
	$timestamp=strtotime("now");
	$result = mysql_query("INSERT INTO $comTable (timestamp,blogID,userName,userEmail,userURL,mainContent) VALUES ('$timestamp','$blogID','$userName','$userEmail','$userURL','$mainContent')"); 
	header("Location: index.php");
}
?>
