Why would my INSERT INTO not work on my php when SELECT does?

I am working on using PHP with mySql.

The mySql is running. My try/catch is working. I have enabled error to show up. I am not running a bad query, because I can enter it into my mysql workbench and it does what I want.

SELECT queries work fine. Why worn't INSERT INTO?

What could possibly be the problem.

show us your code... we are not psychic.. normally if select works then insert should also work.. providing the query doesnt have any errors.. just echo it out on a page and run it directly on MySQL to see what happens..

I narrowed it down. In the database I was querying, the ID int is not auto incrementing. Got a duplicate entry '0' for Primary Key.
