MySQL not qorking

[Acidic]

OK. why does this not work:

$a = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']." - ".$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']." - ".$_SERVER['REMOTE_PORT'];
echo $a."<br />";
$result = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `jchat` (`id`, `message`, `loginid`) VALUES ('', '".$a."', ''");
echo $result; 

I've used the same code on my localhost where it worked, but on the server it does nothing.

It echo's $a fine, but nothing gets done to the database, I get no errors and the database/table do definately exist.

I realise that the names of the fields on the mysql statement seem weird, and that I'm not using 2 of them, but this is only a temporary test thing, so I don't want to make a new table as I don't have permissions to delete them, only to create them.

Have you used the mysql_error () function after executing the query. If there were some kind of error in the query then it would be indicated by this function. The $result variable will be 0 if an error ocurred too.

My quess is, it is an issue with permissions or if the database is on a UNIX server, field and table names are case sensitive.

To use the mysql_error() function I think you also have to chnage the mysql_query(...) to @mysql_query(...). ? Not sure if thats only for the connecting functions?

You don't have to do that. All the @ does is surpress the error output if the function fails.

I think mysql_query() only produces Notices on query errors (as most query errors are rcoverable) - so if you have notices disabled it won't make any difference.

MySQL never "qorks".

Obviously you haven't updated to the newest version.

The upgrade is too expensive for me.
