I have been able to correct the userid and username, and able to get drivers names in query by adding
value='$label'

Now, for some reason (no error) it seems to work, but just not being inserted into DB?
Thanx again.

here is a sample of my input query echoed

Ya! I git it, if you look before Jeff Gordon, there was an extra '

Hi Planet,
The reason why the insert could be failing is because the db expects the userid to be an integer, whilst in your case if you are using the following code to generate your userid, then the id wont be an integer but rather a 7 character string.
$randID = substr(md5(microtime(), -7));
What you can rather do is, make the userid column, an auto incrementing column, then create another column say - userkey, which stores the 7 character string. Then, modify your insert query to accommodate the new userkey field, and then remove the auto incrementing column(userid):

Note: the userid has been replaced by userkey in the query. The userid will auto increment itself.

Ahhh, sorry I was not clear, I did get it to work now, it was not inserting before because I had an extra ' in my query (just before Jeff Gordon in my sample)

The reason I am not auto incrementing the userid, is the ID is already set in another spot of my site.

(I have remove the code snippet from earlier to creat a unique ID as I had realized later I could use the one already assigned)

Thanx for all your help, I am starting to get this now.

Cool, that's good news then.
