MySQL Insert with PHP

I can't figure this out. Something is wrong with my SQL insert statement, and I have no idea what it is. (I also tried setting the variables for all of the values to be input, ie $city = "test" but that didn't work either...halp!)


<form method="POST" action="hw8b.php">
    Name:<br />
    <input type="text" name="name1" /><br /><br />
    City:<br />
    <input type="text" name="city" /><br /><br />
    Email:<br />
    <input type="text" name="email" /><br /><br />
    <input type="submit" value="Insert">
    </form>


<?php

$DBConnect = mysql_connect("localhost", "howard", "");

if (! $DBConnect)
{
  echo "<P>Database not available";
}

$_POST["howard"];
$_POST["password"];

$name1 = $_POST["name1"];
$city = $_POST["city"];;
$email = $_POST["email"];

mysql_select_db("myDB");

$SQLstring = "SELECT MAX(ID) FROM FANS";
$QueryResult = mysql_query($SQLstring);
$Row = mysql_fetch_row($QueryResult);
$fanID = $Row[0] + 1;

$SQLstring = "INSERT INTO FANS VALUES(" . $fanID . ",'" . $name1 . "','" . $city . "','" . $email . "');";

$QueryResult = mysql_query($SQLstring);

Typical smug PHP hater. "Oh, PHP is so insecure, Java is much faster."
Well fuck you, not everyone wants to learn Java, and PHP scales fine even facebook and youtube use it.
