besides just escaping your strings, i think you are having a quoting
error:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php
Commas should not have to be escaped, and indeed the
mysql_real_escape_string() function will not escape commas. After
escaping your input data with this function, I would make the $query
text a bit more technically correct:
Change this:
$query = "insert into testtable6 (indx, col1, col2) values (NULL,
'$data1', '$data2')";
to this:
$query = "insert into testtable6 (indx, col1, col2) values (NULL, '".
$data1."', '".$data2."')";
echo $query."<br>\n";
to ensure proper handling of all data in the sql commands.
If you echo your $query before the insert, what do you get? This is
always a good practice when you're having trouble.
