[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.

try this

<?php
$server = "location_of_server_here";
$db_user = "database_username";
$db_pass = "database_password";
$database = "database_name";
$tablename = "database_table_name";

////NOTES
////
////IF YOUR FIRST INPUT FIELD NAME IS CALLED INPUTONE THEN
////$FORM_INPUT_FIELD_NAME_ONE WOULD BE SPECIFIED AS:
////$INPUTONE

$connection = mysql_connect("$server", "$db_user", "$db_pass");
$db = mysql_select_db("$database", $connection);
$query = "INSERT INTO $tablename (`DATABASE_COLUMN_NAME_ONE`,`DATABASE_COLUMN_NAME_TWO`) VALUES ('$FORM_INPUT_FIELD_NAME_ONE','$FORM_INPUT_FIELD_NAME_TWO')";
$result = mysql_query($query, $connection);
