Are your $_GET variables being populated?

Have you tested the query in PHPMyAdmin with actual values to make sure it is working?

Your filename=$f has no quotes around the $f.

pixie said the error, the f needs quotes you can only use no quotes for number fields and you should get it to tell you why it's erroring it will likely give error in mysql query at point where it says filename = $f

//change $k=mysql_query($query,$con); to below
if(mysql_query($query,$con)){
echo 'inserted';
}else{
echo 'failed->'.mysql_error($con);
}
