Re: [nycphp-talk] if mysql_query() produces an error....I think I might have found the problem.. again, proving my limited knowledge of PHP functions (can I switch brains with any of you guys?), I did not know about this:

mysql_free_result($query);

I was using

$query = ''; mysql_close($dbConn);

This, I thought, from my ASP days, would free the query resources, as it does in ASP, however, in PHP it's not the case.

This might have caused the latent issues involving mysql_select_db() failing.

    Then I'm confused.  Why is it then that mysql_select_db() will bomb after the user attempted to enter erroneous data into mysql_query()?  That is, the user enters bad data within mysql_query(); it throws mysql_error() and delivers the page to the user; the user attempts AGAIN to enter somethng and then mysql_select_db dies!  Why does that occur?


  Difficult to say without knowing the page code, but I would var_dump the variables (particularly the queries) prior to running them. Make sure to test the connection state as well. I have a feeling you might be closing it and not reopening. Maybe the call that opens the connection does not show up in the second time you run the page...?

  Best regards,
  Mauricio
