Insert record in mysql

Hi, im trying to insert a record into a database - ive done this before but I can't spot what ive done wrong with the code im using and its not inserting the record.

@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
mysql_query($query);
$query = "INSERT INTO table1 VALUES ('$one','$two','','$three','$four','$five','$six', '$seven','$eight','$nine','$ten')";
mysql_close();

if anyone can spot the error it would be much appreciated - I've checked that the variables are being set correctly

**Sorted it now (lol put mysql_query......... before $query.....)

haha easily done
