I've been banging my head against the wall over this one all night.

The following throws an T_ENCAPSED_STRING error, assume properly passed variables from HTML form:

code:

$description = addslashes($description);

$query = "INSERT INTO nations (name, description, population, flag, active, language, mod, kind, password) VALUES ('".$name"', '".$description."', '".$population."', '".$flag."', ".$active.", '".$language."', '0', '".$type."', '".$password."')";
mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

Everything else on that page is used elsewhere in the app somewhere, so I know it's not the problem.

Thanks. Guess I just needed a second pair of eyes!
