Hi there (newbie here) - I have the following snippet of code......

$sexId = $_POST['sex'];
$fName = $_POST['fName'];
$lName = $_POST['lName'];

if ($status = $db->query("INSERT INTO names (nameId, sexId, fName,
lName) VALUES ('', $sexId, '$fName', '$lName')")) {
print "Your data was added to the database successfully!";
} else {
print "Your data could not be added to the database!";
}

Assuming my query was successful, should it not return true and print
the success message?

For some reason it is doing just the opposite. The data is added, but
it displays the error instead.

Am I misunderstanding something?
