Description: Generates a MySQL query from all fields on an HTML page. To add a new colum to insert data into, simply add a new field (make sure the field name is the same as teh column name in the MySQL table) and it does it all for you. I wrote this when I got tired of INSERT into whatever (id, name, date)VALUES(”, ”, ”) and decided I wanted something to just generate it for me.

/*
Note that to add a new column to the query, just add in an input box to the HTML, the PHP generates an insert for each field.

This simply displays the query to be executed, to make it execute and not display, change the link "echo "The MySQL Statement..." to "$this->exec($query);" at the bottom of the create_new function.
You would also have to uncomment the MySQL function and set it up accordingly.
