mysql insert thingy wont work

[nabeels786]

        $link = mysql_connect("localhost", "fragblast", "mypass");

        mysql_select_db("fragblast");

        $sql = "insert into articles(name,email,gamename,system,link,ss1,ss2,ss3) values ('$name','$email','$gamename','$system','$path','$ss1','$ss2', '$ss3')";

        $result = mysql_query($sql);

         // Closing connection
         mysql_close($link); 

it doesnt give any errors, but when i check the table, theres nothing in there.

any ideas? im fairly new to mysql

thanks
