Simple mysql table row update

Question

Hi all,
I am new to flex. Literally days into this. I have followed an example from the flex 3 bible and created a Flex applciation calling an AMFPHP service. I got the hello world to appear and was pretty chuffed with that. (code used is below)
I have been asked to use some php code that I used to successfully add a row to my database. Apparently this is easy but I'm not getting it.
All I want to do in this instance is add one row of data to my table. I guess I would just insert my php code in as a statement somewhere right?
The table is on a server
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
    <mx:RemoteObject id="phpService"
    destination="amfphp"
    source="MyClass. HelloWorld"/>
    <mx:Button label="Say Hello" click="phpService.sayHello()"/>
    <mx:Label text="{phpService.sayHello.lastResult}"/>
</mx:Application>
Below: Is this the right bit of code that would update?
var sql:String =
    "INSERT INTO mytable (Row1, Row2, Row3 , Row4, Row5, Row6, Row7, Row8, Row9 , Row10) " +
    "VALUES ('Data1', 'Data2',  'Data3', 'Data4', 'Data5', 'Data6', 'Data7', 'Data8', 'Data9', 'Data10')";
insertStmt.text  = sql;
I really am confused by all this.
Thanks in advance for any help

Hi,
here is a bit of code that may help you, when using amfphp you would have the php class that updates the record, to call that class from flex you would declare it as a remote object. You then send that object with the data to the server where the sql updates the table. The code below is for inserting a record updating a record requires a slightly different sql statement but the principle is pretty much the same.
If you are using flashbuilder you can use zendamf and the data wizard will create your actionscriptcode and your php services code.

     Actionscript code to update a record through amfphp
<mx:RemoteObject id="catalog" fault="onFault(event)" showBusyCursor="true" source="qiksales" destination="amfphp">
        <mx:method name="newCategory" result="isEntered(event)" />
</mx:RemoteObject>
     private function AddCategory(e:MouseEvent): void
catalog.newCategory(100,'specials');
     Php function
function newCategory($group, $category) {
     $mysql = mysql_connect(localhost,"root","");
     mysql_select_db( "catalog" );
     $Query = "INSERT INTO categorys (groupID, name) VALUES ('$group', '$category')";
     $Result = mysql_query( $Query );
     return($Result);
