$_POST error saving mysql database

I have this code, this is to register a user from a link given from an email. so the ID and Email is being GET by the form and display, then being check if there is a user then it will display the contents on the field, then it is just an update. Now what I'm trying to do is to CREATE, since the ID in the link that is given to the user doesn't exist yet. This is the code in the file called Register.php

<?php

    load_function('database.php');

    if(!empty($_GET['user_id']) && !empty($_GET['cbemail'])) 
    {
        $user_id = base64_decode($_GET['user_id']);
        $email = base64_decode($_GET['cbemail']);   

        $employee = get_employee($user_id,$email);

    }

        /*$first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
        $middle_name = $_POST['middle_name'];
        $last_name = $_POST['last_name'];
        $suffix = $_POST['suffix'];
        $gender = $_POST['gender'];
        $date_birth = $_POST['date_birth'];
        $cbemail = $_POST['cbemail'];
        $locality_id = $_POST['locality_id'];
        $home_phone = $_POST['home_phone'];
        $mobile_phone = $_POST['mobile_phone'];*/

?>

<div id="main-content">
    <div id="emp_registrationform">

           <td>&nbsp;</td>
        </table>
      </form>
    </div>
  </div>

My problem is this data, is not being captured when saving on the database. My function in the database is as follows.

function add_employee($user_id, $first_name, $middle_name, $last_name, 
                      $suffix, $gender, $date_birth, $cbemail, 
                      $locality_id, $home_phone, $mobile_phone) {
    $db   =  load_db();
    $sql = "INSERT into employees (
            user_id, first_name, middle_name, last_name, 
            suffix, gender, date_birth, cbemail,
            locality_id, home_phone, mobile_phone 
            ) VALUES (
            $user_id, $first_name, $middle_name, $last_name, 
            $suffix, $gender, $date_birth, $cbemail,
            $locality_id, $home_phone, $mobile_phone
            )";
    $result = $db->query($sql);
}

Yes i'm requiring a POST but i don't know how to capture the "value" in the value field of the input boxes.

The submit button will redirect in this line of code.

if(isset($_POST['save_user'])){
    add_employee($_POST['user_id'], $_POST['first_name'], $_POST['middle_name'], $_POST['last_name'], 
                 $_POST['suffix'], $_POST['gender'], $_POST['date_birth'], $_POST['cbemail'], 
                 $_POST['locality_id'], $_POST['home_phone'], $_POST['mobile_phone']);

So any ideas? I hope you understand the problem.

What is if(isset($_POST['save_user'])){ I don't see any field with save_user name. You should change it to some thing else may be if(isset($_POST['user_id'])){ Also You would need quotes as mention by others.

Use this.

function add_employee($user_id, $first_name, $middle_name, $last_name, 
                  $suffix, $gender, $date_birth, $cbemail, 
                  $locality_id, $home_phone, $mobile_phone) {
$db   =  load_db();
$sql = "INSERT into employees (
        user_id, first_name, middle_name, last_name, 
        suffix, gender, date_birth, cbemail,
        locality_id, home_phone, mobile_phone 
        ) VALUES (
        '".$user_id."', '".$first_name."', '".$middle_name."', '".$last_name."', 
        '".$suffix."', '".$gender."', '".$date_birth."', '".$cbemail."',
        '".$locality_id."', '".$home_phone."', '".$mobile_phone."'
        )";
$result = $db->query($sql);
}
