First of all, you shouldn't use htmlentities here. That's for
displaying the data, not storing it in the database. Rather, use it
after retrieving the data but before displaying it.
Next question is - what's in the $_POST array? Try
echo "<pre>\n";
print_r($_POST);
echo "</pre>\n";
Finally, what's the result from mysql_query? ALWAYS check the result of
a mysql call (or any other external call, for that matter). If it is
false, display the error with mysql_error().
