Is it the whole code? I can't see where you connect to database
(mysql_connect(), mysql_select_database()).
Anyway try to be more precise. What is the real problem?
There is nothing in $_POST after submit or database returns an error?
If there is database error then what it is? Try putting
error_reporting(E_ALL) in the beginning of your script it could help
to diagnose your problem.
