Once connected to a database call this function to add data to a table.

usage:
insertData($inputTable, $inputField, $inputValue)

The first parameter is the table name.
The second parameter is the name of the field that will have data added to it. This can be an array of field names if updating more than one field.
The last parameter is the value to add to the table, again if adding more than one value make this parameter an array.
If adding an array of values then the array of field names and the array of values to add should be the same size (as you would expect).
