my problem: i have 2 different pages. both doing the same thing. 1 is html, 1 is flash. I did this because i thought it was a flash problem. i am trying to take a variable from a flash movie and send it to a php page. ok 1st problem, i can’t get the variable to go thru, which you already know. then i decided to try an html page, instead of flash. that worked, so i guess it’s a flash problem. bu tthen i decided to take that variable from the phppage and insert in into my db, sicne i wil have to do this anyway for my mailing list. what happens is nuts. my php page displays the variable and says that 1 record was inserted into db. when i view the table in the db, it does recognize that something was entered just doesnt display it. so in other words, there in a blank entry. i am starting to think it is a server setting, but in another project this does work o the same server. here is my code
insertmail.php:
<html>
<head>
<title>Book-O-Rama Book Entry Results || Digitalosophy ||</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

$news = $news;
print "Your name is " . $news . ".";
@ $db = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "USER_NAME", "PASSWORD");
if (!$db){
echo "Error: Could not connect to database. Please try agian later.";
exit;
}
mysql_select_db("digitalo_digitalosophy");
$query = "insert into news(name) values('$mail')";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if ($result) {
echo mysql_affected_rows()." book inserted into database.";
}
?>
</body>
