Check your code for errors, or invalid connection information. Without more information from you, nobody can say anything sensible about it.

Your INSERT INTO syntax is wrong.

Thank you "pritaeas"! i already try this code but it still doesn't work..it didn't show any error.. i dont know why it doesn't work when run in server..this is my database connection code :

<?php 
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = 'root';
$dbpass = '';

$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die('Error connecting to mysql');

$dbname1 = 'relogs';
mysql_select_db($dbname1);
?>

[pritaeas]

Add error reporting to your mysql_connect, mysql_select_db, and mysql_query's, just like line 6 above. Instead of a text, use die(mysql_error())

I got it!! hurm..actually i didn't tick for "null" value in field. Because my 1st page actually insert into certain fields not all that's why i have to give "null" value for the others.

Thank you for pritaeas for giving me help.. :)
