I have been setting up a small database and had the entry form working, putting in data to two files. 1 - article 2 - topic. After making some amendments to the various files I was working on I cannot now post some of the data. The topic id number won't go to the field. I had this problem initially and fixed it, but now I can't fix again. I am going around in circles with this. Below is the code from my form page. <input type="hidden" name="article_id" value="" size="8" maxlength=8><br> <input type="text" name="article_title" size="60" maxlength="60"><br> Article Date - (yyyy mm dd)<br> <input type="number" name="article_date" size="12" maxlength=12><br> Select Article Topic<br> <select name="article_topic_id" size="1"> <option value="1">Barbados</option> <option value="2">Domincan Republic</option> <option value="3">Kenya</option> <option value="4">Goa</option> <option value="5">Spain</option> </select><p> Article Text<br> <textarea name="article_text" cols="45" rows="12"></textarea><br> Article image<br> <input name="article_iamgelink" type="text" size="60" maxlength="60"><br> If article is current enter "C" <input type="text" name="status" size="1" maxlength="1"><br> HTML: and this is the code from my 'receiving page' $article_id=$_GET['article_id']; $article_top_id=$_GET['article_top_id']; $article_title=$_GET['article_title']; $article_text=$_GET['article_text']; $article_date=$_GET['article_date']; $article_imagelink=$_GET['article_imagelink']; $status=$_GET['status']; $topic_id=$_GET['article_topic_id']; $topic_title=$_GET['article_title']; $topic_desc=$_GET['article_text']; $articlequery=("INSERT INTO article VALUES('$article_id','$article_top_id','$article_title','$article_text','$article_date','$article_imagelink','status')"); $topicquery =("INSERT INTO topic VALUES('$article_topic_id','$article_title','$article_text')"); PHP: The article_top_id will not post to either table. Can anyone please help me with this as I just can't see what's wrong. Thanks in advance Harlequeen
