HTML forms to insert data to MySQL

[rskuse]

Hi,

I am trying to insert data into a MySQL database using an HTML form.

The following code:
<?php

if ($submit):

$dbcnx = mysql_connect(&quot;localhost&quot;,&quot;root&quot;,&quot;&quot;

mysql_select_db(&quot;awi&quot;

$sql = &quot;insert into request set name='$name', company='$company', email='$email', username='$username', password='$password'&quot;;

if(@mysql_query($sql)) {
echo(&quot;Your request has been successfully sent, you will recieve an email shortly confirming your username and password&quot;
}
else {
echo(&quot;There was an error sending your request: mysql_error()&quot;

?>

is returning an error saying:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in C:\Inetpub\

http://wwwroot\awiweb\secure\request.php

on line 74

but I can't work out where I am going wrong.

Can anyone help me?

Thankyou in advance,

Rach
