Absolutely correct for strings, although in your example you could use:

pg_exec($conn, "insert into mumulica (mumu1,mumu2) values
('$mumu1','$mumu2')")

bearing in mind the need to escape ' marks. But - Jason's using numbers so
he should be fine.

Jason - sounds like you're checking return values, so we can be reasonably
sure the insert occurred. You're not inside a transaction block that gets
rolled back are you?

Might be scripts failing half-way through because of connection problems
too.

I'd be tempted to print $sql to a log-file so you can see what you think you
inserted and compare it to Postgres. You can also turn the logging level up
in PG to see individual queries, but that can be a little overwhelming.
