Answer 1

You are using single quotes around column names:

$insertQuery=mysql_query("insert into 'order'('cust_id', 'order_date', 'order_total',    
'order_state', 'order_city', 'order_add', 'order_post')values('$cust_id','$order_date', 
'$order_total', '$order_state', '$order_city','$order_add','$order_post')")

Try this instead:

$insertQuery=mysql_query("insert into `order` (`cust_id`, `order_date`, `order_total`,    
`order_state`, `order_city`, `order_add`, `order_post`)values('$cust_id','$order_date', 
'$order_total', '$order_state', '$order_city','$order_add','$order_post')")

Or you can remove them completely if you are sure they aren't reserved words and they don't have spaces or other such silly things in them:

$insertQuery=mysql_query("insert into `order`
(cust_id, order_date, order_total, order_state, order_city, order_add, 
order_post)
values('$cust_id','$order_date', 
'$order_total', '$order_state', '$order_city','$order_add','$order_post')")

Lastly, this assumes that you do indeed have all the variables set correctly at the time you try to run the query. If you try to insert a value that is empty, the SQL will end up like insert into someTable values ('someValue','') which will generate an error as well.

Edit: To echo out the data do this:

echo ("insert into `order`
(cust_id, order_date, order_total, order_state, order_city, order_add, 
order_post)
values('$cust_id','$order_date', 
'$order_total', '$order_state', '$order_city','$order_add','$order_post')");

And then edit your question and add the output you see. This will probably solve the riddle for us.
