[Zope] Writing to SQL Databases

[Sean McMains]

Alas, neither of these options works. 

<!--#call addEntry(REQUEST)-->

just does the same thing as my original format. No error, but no change to
the database.

<!--#call addEntry(REQUEST=REQUEST)-->

when I try to submit the change gives me this error:

Invalid attribute name, "addentry(request", for tag <!--#call
addEntry(REQUEST=REQUEST)-->

Any other ideas? Anybody have any samples I can look at that take the
results of a form and put them into a SQL database?

Thanks Ross et al,
Sean
