Form not inserting information into mysql table? - php

Question

Hi i'm having a problem with my forum comment form. Basically i am trying to allow a user to read a users post and comment on it, the form data is suppose to be inserted into mysql.
the values i need inserted are the comment_id which is the session id of the user and the post_id the id of the post their commenting on and the content which they type.
For some reason this is not being inserted into mysql and is coming up with my echoed success message without any errors. can someone please show me where im going wrong.
Thanks

You have some missing table names here:
$sql = "INSERT INTO ptb_forum_comments (comment_id, post_id, content) VALUES (NULL, '".$_SESSION['user_id']."', '".$profile_id."', '".$content."');";
as you can see you have 3 tables names and 4 values.
