One again you are WRONG! As evidenced by the failure of the insertions.

And if you would have checked for errors (as you've been told many times
before), you would have found a MySQL error.

I remind you if something is not a MySQL issue when it's not a MySQL
issue. However, you can't learn the difference between PHP and MySQL.

Here's a hint: PHP doesn't care what's in a string. So if neither one
cares, why should the INSERT fail?
