You haven't given enough code to know excatly what your problem is. 
However, for an educated guess, try something like:

$sql = "INSERT INTO mytable VALUES(" . $mystring . ")";

where of course $mystring is the correctly formatted set of values to 
insert. Note that using this method you must have a value for each field 
in the table, in the order in which the fields appear in the table.
