    PHP problem - database not updating?

    Hey,
    I recently moved servers and one of my scripts isn't updating the database on the new server when a user submits to it.
    It was working fine before but for some reason its not now.

    I've checked all the database settings and they work fine, and as far as I can tell the code (albeit basic) is correct, can anyone help?

    It runs through the entire script and tells you its been successful, however doesn't update the database

    PHP Code:
            <?php

                
    include('includes/config.php');

                include(
    'includes/functions.php');    

                
    chdir('/home/seanrobe/public_html/urapopstar/');     

                
    //Open a connection to the database

                
    $db mysql_connect($hostname$user$pass) or die ('Error connecting to mysql');

                
    mysql_select_db($name) or die ('Error connecting to mysql');

                

                
    //generate and execute the sql query

                
    $query "SELECT * FROM $release_date_db ORDER BY date ASC";

                    

                
    $result mysql_query($query)

                or die (
    "Error in query: $query. " mysql_error());

            

                
    //echo the drop down menu

                
    echo "<select name=\"release_date\"><br>";

                echo 
    "<option value=\"\">Select From List</option>";

                

                    
    //if records are present

                    
    if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0)

                    {

                        
    //iterate through results

                        //print title and links to edit and delete

                        
    while ($row mysql_fetch_object($result))

                        {

                        
    ?>

                        <option value="<?php echo $row->date?>"><?php echo formatDate($row->date); ?></option>

                        <?php

                        
    }

                    
    //echo the closing tag for drop down menu

                    
    }

                echo 
    "</select><br />";                    

            
    ?>    

                </td>

              </tr>

        So it takes the path to add to the database and tells you that it has added stuff to the database ("Your release has been added..."), but it hasn't? Why not echo the query being made at that point?

          In your SQL query, you state for it to insert into "$release_sched_db"

          Where is this located, and is it correct?

              right i've done this and am getting:

              INSERT INTO release_sched(act, title, type, release_date, taken_from) VALUES('', 'test', '', '', '')

                Where are these getting their values from?'$act1', '$title', '$type', '$release_date', '$taken_from'

                I seen a couple of varibles, ($content, $contact) that do not appear to be used. $title is the only varible I noticed that is given a value and it is why the word 'test' appeared in your above post.

                  Oh yrah sorry they're pulled from a form that's just before this code. I just noticed I hadn't copied the complete script. It worked fine on my previous server, I'm wondering if I need to update the syntax for a newer version of mysql


                  I'm on my phone so can't post the missing part of the script.... Will post it as soon as I get on my laptop

                      We'll use $act1 for an example. I can not see where you are giving it a value when the form is submitted, for example, where is:

                      $act1 = $_REQUEST['act1'];

                      You are obviously not getting DB errors, so if I overlooked something and $act1 is getting populated, then what I would do directly before writing the data to the DB is put this for testing:

                      $act1 = 'worked';
                      $title = 'worked too';

                      etc for each variable. Run the script and check your DB to see if the words "worked", "worked too", are there. If they are then you know you the variables are not getting the appropriate data.

                            Sorry, I been pretty busy, and have actually forgotten to check this forum for a few days.

                            If I understand you right, the above code worked as intended on your old server, and on the new server it doesn't write the values into the DB? And you never modified it in any way?

                            If so, your server may handle submmited form data differently. Try to use $_request, instead of $_post for reading in the data. In your form you have method="post" which is fine for submitting the form. But to read the data being submitted I use $_REQUEST['xxx']. E.g.: $username = $_REQUEST['username']. You may want to try that and see what happens.

                              Sorry I've only just come back to you, I've been really busy with work and have only just had a chance to test this, and unfortunately i still only get:

                              INSERT INTO release_sched(act, title, type, release_date, taken_from) VALUES('', 'Sean Testing Server', '', '', '')
