Inserting into database, incorrect number of bindings supplied (Flask, SQL, Python)

Hello Treehousers:

I am trying to make a simple messageboard/twitter type website. It contains a text entry input and a post button. You type something in, hit post, and the page refreshes with your post added to the top.

I have this setup in Flask framework and am having trouble posting the entries into the database. (I can read them just fine if I insert using sqlite browser). The database is a table called entries and each entry has a row that contains an autoincrement ID and the text from the entry field.

The problem I am having is that when I try to insert into the database via POST it sees the characters of the text entered as individual entries. For example if I enter 12345 it will try to post 1,2,3,4,5 separately. See the pictures for a better explanation

Traceback, incorrect number of bindings http://drp.io/obC

If I enter just 1 character, it works perfectly. I'm fairly certain it has something to do with the way I am adding to the database. Here is my query (couldn't get it to format)

g.db.execute('INSERT INTO entries (text) VALUES (?)', request.form['posts'])

(posts is the name of the textarea)

Hopefully I just missing a comma or something. I can provide more code if needed.

Thanks in advance for any replies!
