I am having a problem inserting values from a selection of dropdown boxes into MYSQL database.
I think I have narrowed it down to a problem in the .sql file. I have sat for hours trying to figure this out but I am a complete beginner to all this and may be missing something very small.
mysql_error() shows:

Please Note
As you can see from the sql file there is two tables (survey & orders). The first table(survey) works fine, with close to identical PHP code. It adds records to table with no problem. But I can't seem to add values to the second table(orders).
From what I see from other peoples code on this site, my code may seem a little unorthodox so feel free to mention any tips to tidy the code.
This topic has been covered a few times from what I can see but I still can't seem to find a resolution by emulating the answers given.
Thanks in advance.
