column insert

I have to insert 2 columns into an existing database that seems to be
altered after a restore. I do not know what datatype should be entered for
"path" and for "referer". The others are int4 and timestamptz for when_stamp.
Here is the code:
/*
* Statistics: write page view
*/
if($loglevel>=1) {
sqlquery("
insert into visits (session_id,page_id,when_stamp,path,referer)
select session_id,$page_id,'now','$REQUEST_URI','$HTTP_REFERER'
from session
where hash='$sid'");
}
Thanks for any help.

You're probably best off using text type. Try this:

alter table visits add path text;
alter table visits add referer text;

That should get ya there.
