and put it into tables so in my search I was told I should try preg macth which I got the code started using it here it is

[code]

Email Address:

<?php $date=preg_match('/Date:\s+(\d{2}\/\d{2}\/\d{4})/'); $time=preg_match('/Scheduled Start:\s+(*)'); $1stplace=preg_match('/1st place:\s+(*)'); $1stplaceemail=preg_match('/1st place email:\s+(*)'); $2ndplace=preg_match('/2nd place:\s+(*)'); $2ndplaceemail=preg_match('/2nd place email:\s+(*)'); $3rdplace=preg_match('/3rd place:\s+(*)'); $3rdplaceemail=preg_match('/3rd place email:\s+(*)'); print ($date); print ($time) print ($1stplace); print ($1stplaceemail); print ($2ndplace); print($2ndplaceemail); print ($3rdplace); print ($3rdplaceemail) ?>

but now I have a couple questions  1 
when I try this code im getting 2 errors on page before the form even shows up and here they are
( ! ) SCREAM: Error suppression ignored for
( ! ) Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LNUMBER, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in C:\wamp\www\insertform.php on line 15

and the second is if I have 2 3rd place finishers which would show up in the form like above how do I distinguish them so I can insert 2 records into my database

Variable names cannot start with a number, so instead of $1stplace perhaps use $place1
