I’m new to php and I have an easy 1 for you - I think

is this right and how to execute it…

\<?php  
mysql\_connect(“localhost”,“user\_me”,“pass\_me”);  
mysql\_select\_db(“my\_contacts”);

$first\_name = $\_POST[‘first\_name’];  
$last\_name = $\_POST[‘first\_name’];  
$phone = $\_POST[‘phone’];  
$email = $\_POST[‘email’];

$insertSQL = “insert into contacts values (NULL, '”.$last\_name."’, ‘".$first\_name."’, ‘".$phone."’, ‘".$email."’, ‘’’’, ‘’’’)";  
Execute($insertSQL);
