I am able to connect to the database and located the table. I am unable to populate the db. Attached is a in image of the phpmyadmin trucks table structure. Please help. I am excited to be so close to getting it right.

echo '<blockquote><blockquote><blockquote>';	
			echo '<form method="post" action="/inventory/">';
			echo '<input type="submit" name="validated_confirmed_update" value="&bull; &bull; &bull; Update Inventory &bull; &bull; &bull;"></form>';	
			echo '</blockquote></blockquote></blockquote>';	
				
			



	$db_connection = @mysql_connect("----------------------.net", "--------------", "----------------");
	if (!$db_connection) {
	  echo( "<P>Unable to connect to the database server at this time.</P>" );
	  exit();
	}	
	
	$db = @mysql_select_db("---------", $db_connection);
	
	if(!$db) {
	  echo( "<P>Unable to locate the database at this time.</P>" );
      exit();
	}
	
	
    if ("submit" == $validated_confirmed_update) {
      $sql = "INSERT INTO trucks SET " .
             "relpath-box1='$data[0]', " .
             "relpath-box2='$data[1]' ," .
			 "relpath-box3='$data[2]' ," .
			 "relpath-box4='$data[3]' ," .
			 "relpath-primary='$data[4]' ," .
			 "relpath-gallery1='$data[5]' ," .
			 "relpath-gallery2='$data[6]' ," .
			 "relpath-gallery3='$data[7]' ," .

    mysql_query($sql);
 }

Have you got it right already ? While inserting a record to a table, you follow this syntax.

$sql = "insert into table (column1,column2) values ('$value1','$value2')";

Its while updating, you use this syntax.

$sql = "update table set column1='$value1', column2='$value2' where id='$id'";
