INSERT INTO query??

[sniperman]

a newbie question here.

what is the correct syntax to use with PHP for an INSERT INTO query to a MySQL database that resides on the same server.

The server runs these versions

• PHP version 5.2.6
• MySQL version 5.0.77-community-log

<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'admin1', 'admin2');
if (!$link) {
	die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
$db_selected = mysql_select_db('database', $link);
if (!$db_selected) {
	die('<p>unable to locate the database</p>');
	}
/* Insertion Query to store attributes into Database */
mysql_query ("INSERT INTO tester 
('value1', 'value2') VALUES ('tested', 'successfully')")
or die(mysql_error());  

echo '<br />done successfully<br />';

mysql_close($link);

?>

The connection and database selection was successful. However I have labored for days on the right syntax to INSERT DATA with no luck, so i've turned to the forum for help. Thanks in advance.

The code looks just fine, what exactly goes wrong? Do you get a syntax error/mysql error?
