Why is this not working?

[frankalbers]

Can somebody tell me why this does not put data in mySQL table?
<?php

$db = mysql_connect(&quot;db.cupbase.f2s.com:3306&quot;,&quot;username&quot;,&quot;password&quot
or die (&quot;Could not connect to database&quot;

mysql_select_db (&quot;nameofdatabase&quot;,$db);

$link = mysql_db_query (&quot;INSERT INTO bird (sales_id, bird_id, status, purchase_id, vet_id, weight_id, skingrade) values ('$textfield2', '$textfield3', '$textfield4', '$textfield5', '$textfield6', '$textfield7', '$textfield8')&quot;,$db);

mysql_close ($db);

?>

Thanx.
