The problem is this line..

PHP Code:


			
if(isset (['insert_form']) ) {

its not valid php.

It looks like you are trying to make sure none of the fields are empty.. so instead replace that line with..

PHP Code:


			
if($insertFormName || $inserFormLocation || $inserFormPhone || $inserFormCatagory || $inserFormBusiness_name) {

that will fix there error.. although you might want to do some more advanced validation.. such as making sure that what the user enters is longer or equal to a certain length for example.

How do I make it "When forum submits, save mysql".
