# do_insert function
####################
# Purpose: Produces 2 strings which can be used to make a database insert.
#
# How it works: In your form, name fields with "do_" as a prefix. For example,
# if the field name in your db is "foobar", then name your form field
# "do_foobar". Note that you can also make required fields, which will
# halt the program before any database call if the required field has
# no value. To use this, name your required field "do_required_foobar".
#
# In your program, call the function as follows:
# list($fields,$values) = do_insert($HTTP_POST_VARS);
#
# The function will return an array which is broken into the $fields
# and $values variables. To insert into your db, just do this:
# mysql_query("Insert into table_name ($fields) VALUES ($values)");
#
# Usage: list($fields,$values) = do_insert($HTTP_POST_VARS);
# if(!empty($values)) mysql_query("Insert into table_name ($fields) VALUES ($values)");

# do_update function
###################
# Purpose: Produces a string which can be used to make a database update.
#
# How it works: In your form, name fields with "do_" as a prefix. For example,
# if the field name in your db is "foobar", then name your form field
# "do_foobar". Note that you can also make required fields, which will
# halt the program before any database call if the required field has
# no value. To use this, name your required field "do_required_foobar".
#
# In your program, call the function as follows:
# list($fields,$values) = do_insert($HTTP_POST_VARS);
#
# The function will return a variable which can be used as the
# string for your update query. Example:
# mysql_query("Update table_name SET $updatestring WHERE foo='bar'");
#
# Usage: $updatestring = do_update($HTTP_POST_VARS);
# if(!empty($updatestring)) mysql_query("Update table_name SET $updatestring WHERE foo='bar'");
