Please reply to some of the comments so we can help figure out what the issues is. This is how your function would look with proper mysqli syntax.

• How to make the connection: $mysql = new mysqli(...)

• How to prepare the statement: $stmt = $mysqi->prepare(....)

• How to bind the parameters: $stmt->bind_param(...)

• Execution: $stmt->execute()

Note: you were making your insert string like it was to be used for mysqli but your parameter binding was more similiar to pdo. I wasn't sure which one you were wanting to use so I chose mysqli. I personally prefer PDO, though... so I can re-write this using that if you want. Link to the PDO Prepare Function that also shows some binding.

 // this is your database connection for mysqli 
 $mysqli = new mysqli('localhost', 'my_user', 'my_password', 'world');

 function insertSeries($mysqli)
 {
    $options = array(
        'user' => $_POST['user'],
        'email' => $_POST['email'],
        'summary' => $_POST['summary'],
        'due_date' => $_POST['due_date'],
        'problem_type' => $_POST['problem_type'],
        'status' => $_POST['status']
    );

    $sql = "insert into ticket_summary('user','email','summary','due_date','problem_type','status') 
                                    Values (?,     ?,        ?,         ?,            ?,        ?)";


    if ( $stmt = $mysqli->prepare($sql) )
    { 
        $stmt->bind_param("ssssss", $options['user'], $options['email'],
                                     $options['summary'], $options['due_date'], 
                                     $options['problem_type'], $options['status']);

        $success = $stmt->execute();

        if ($success) { print "query worked"; }
              else    { print "query failed"; }
    } 
 }
