How do I retrieve/add records to MySQL through PHP?

[OverByte]

I'm somewhat new to the following so please bear with me. I have Apache configured w/PHP and MySQL. I'm able to use PHP's functionality through Apache. I'm also able to create databases and tables sucessfully through MySQL using standard means. But, when I try to retrieve or add records from MySQL through PHP via HTML forms, I'm having no luck. I've tried numerous examples/ways of doing this.

I'm trying this on a localhost, Linux box using the following versions:
RedHat Linux 2.4.18-3
Apache 1.3.26
PHP 4.2.3
MySQL 3.23.52

The versions are most likely not the issue. There may be a config issue somewhere I assume, but each piece works fine with one another except for the MySQl queries under PHP through HTML forms.

Thanks.

Any help is appreciated.

Do you get any errors when you execute the PHP script? //Daniel

no error messages whatsoever. i echo some messages at certain points in the script
and it does complete. i get a connection to the database; however, i believe that the query setup may be the problem.

What does your query look like? Does MySQL return successfully? //Daniel
