Hi,
please forgive me if your typo concerns only your posting, but you didn't close your
VALUES parenthesis.
Then, the order of the data in the second parenthesis doesn't match that in the first
one (which it has to).
So the correct way to do it would be:
$insert = mysql_query("insert into dbrss (Feed, Title, URL, Abstract, Old) VALUES
('$Feed','$Title','$URL','$Abstract',NOW())",$db);
Hope this helps.
Greetings,
Michael.
