Hello, NewGuy!

In my register.php I have that stats.php required and then all stats set:
require_once 'stats.php';
setStat('atk',$userID,'5');
setStat('def',$userID,'5');
setStat('mag',$userID,'5');
setStat('gc',$userID,'50');

As well as inserting it into the db:
// the stat doesn't exist; insert it into the database
$query = sprintf(”INSERT INTO user_stats(user_id,stat_id,value) VALUES ((SELECT id FROM stats WHERE display_name = '%s' or short_name = '%s'),'%s','%s')”,
mysql_real_escape_string($statName),
mysql_real_escape_string($statName),
mysql_real_escape_string($userID),
'0');
mysql_query($query);
}

Any ideas? Any help would be great! Thanks again so much for everything!
