				|

				| I'm at a loss.  This code I wrote is pretty straight forward, but for some reason will not query with MySQL.  This script I wrote, helps me to add new clients to my database QUICKLY.  Here is the code: 
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | <?php #Define variables
 $company='company';
 $firstname='firstname';
 $lastname='lastname';
 $username='username';
 $password='password';
 
 if( (!$company) or (!$firstname) or (!$lastname) or (!$username) or (!$password) )
 {
 
 echo("Please enter missing information");
 
 }
 else
 {
 #connect to MySQL
 $conn = @mysql_connect("localhost","my_username","my_password")
 or die("Could not connect to MySQL");
 #select a database
 $db = @mysql_select_db("clients",$conn)
 or die("Could not select database");
 #create the SQL query
 $sql = "insert into users     (company,first_name,last_name,user_name,password)
 values (\"$company\",\"$firstname\",\"$lastname\",\"$username\",password(\"$password\") )";
 
 #execute the query
 $result = @mysql_query($sql,$conn)
 or die("Could not execute query");
 if($result)
 { echo("New user $username added"); }
 }
 ?>
 | 
 
 Of course the fields are in an external HTML form.  When I press "submit" it comes up "Could not execute Query".  Am I just too tired, or am I missing something? My database name is right as is my table name I'm inserting the info into.
 
 Thanks ahead of time!
