Sorry, from my limited knowledge I cant see how this script would store any data in a database.
I always thought the syntax is:

$store = mysql_query("INSERT INTO table (field1, field2, field3 etc.) VALUES ('$param1','$param2','$param3') or die ....;

I am probably missing a lot of information here. Can anyone enlighten me?

MySQL will work with either method of query.  You do not need to define the fields you will be inserting.  When you define the fields as you show in your example it allows you to make shorter queries.  This is because when you do not define the fields you must specify data for every single field in the values() construct.

ie:

INSERT INTO table values('1','2','3');

and

INSERT INTO table (field1,field2) values('1','2');

In the second command, field3 will assume the default value.  I believe (possibly incorrectly) that the following is the same and will result in the default value for field3:

INSERT INTO table values('1','2','');

Dean,

I have limited knowledge in php coding, and have been experimenting with this all night and cannot make it work.  I created a test php page in the listmail directory that calls the function, which is stored in the same directory, but it isn't working and I'm lost!  

In the code above, I have our configuration information (host, username, etc.) in correctly.  That is the only change I made.  Do I need to do anything with the global variables?

TIA

What did you do to make it work?
