$pass = "passgoeshere";
$db = "dbnamegoeshere";
//dont change anything under this//

$link = mysql_connect( "localhost", $user, $pass );
mysql_select_db( $db, $link );

I keep getting parse errors on like their was one on line 82, well their was nothing on line 82.... then 81 nothin on 81 then, um...tried deletn couple things, that didn't work...

[phpman]

that is becasue you forgot a quote on the end of this line

mysql_query("INSERT into tblmil ( fdrealn,fdaan,fdmilbranch,fdrank,fdmos,fdbased,fdserving) values ( '$Information has been added') ");

[johnsx2002]

when i hit "Submit" it goes to a 404 page... what do I do? cuz now it shows all the stuff so i filled it out to test it, so (thank you that works now! ) but i hit submit an it just gives me a 404!

oh an when i hit submit it doens't add the data to the db

[phpman]

I just really looked at the code and found you have way to many form tags. you only use 1

this is where your page is going

<form name="form7" method="post" action="add">

nowhere.

try this

<?
//config//
$user = "usergoeshere";
$pass = "passgoeshere";
$db = "dbnamegoeshere";
//dont change anything under this//

$link = mysql_connect( "localhost", $user, $pass );
mysql_select_db( $db, $link );

if ( $action == "" ) {
?>

<form name="form1" method="post" action="addsoldier.php?action=add">
<blockquote>
<p align="center">Real Name:
<input name="realname" type="text" id="realname">
</p>
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
<p align="center">Americas Army name (if you play)
<input name="americasarmyname" type="text" id="americasarmyname">

<blockquote>

<div align="center">
<p>How long have you served? (or serving)
<input name="servedanserving" type="text" id="servedanserving">
</p>
<p> </p>
</div>

<?
}

if ( $action == "add" ) {
mysql_query("INSERT into tblmil ( fdrealn,fdaan,fdmilbranch,fdrank,fdmos,fdbased,fdserving) values ( '$Information has been added' ) ");
echo "$Information has been added";
}

mysql_close( $link );
?>

then to have it add you can't use
$Information has been added

as that is nothing and will error out. you need to fix your insert query to add the correct variables to the correct columns. and that all depeends on if you have register_globals off or on. but seeing as you are only using $action it might be on and that is a security issue.

[johnsx2002]

I think its on, is that a problme? how can i fix it an how can i make it add i am a complete php nooobie! please help me brotha!

[phpman]

it won't hurt you to read a little on the mysql and php sites either. on this line do this

if ( $action == "add" ) {
mysql_query("INSERT into tblmil ( fdrealn,fdaan,fdmilbranch,fdrank,fdmos,fdbased,fdserving) values ( '$realname','$americasarmyname','$militarybranch','$rank','$mos','$basedat','$servedanserving' ) ");
echo "$Information has been added";
} 

try that.
