Help! (inserting usernames)

Before I start, I'm not very clever at this stuff!

can anyone tell what the bit about inserting names into the table.

at the moment I have a couple of names in the table but the PHP doesn't seem to recognise they are there

I'm using the lycos database thing, and just trying to do a very simple job,

for example if I want to put bill in as a username and bill1 as the password, which parts of the script do I substitue?


INSERT INTO users (username, password) VALUES (‘someUser’, md5(‘somePass’));

any help would be fantastic guys, I've been thrown in at the deep end by cruel teaching staff, and have no idea what I'm doing!!!!!!
thanks

Firstly welcome to the forums. Its important to note to read the rules before you post, titles like Help!!!!!!!!! wont get you far. Also please do not post twice on the same subject. Its just a waste of time.

As for your problem is seems that your quite new to this. I would suggest reading my article on php/mysql basics. It should give you a good push in the right direction.
