The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

SELECT query works, INSERT query fails on one server; both work on other server

Asked by yamya in Interbase / Firebird Database, PHP and Databases

Tags: php, mysql, database

the only significant difference that I am able to see between two independently hosted servers is the folder structure on the server.

[minor differences are database, table, field names have been triple+ checked for typos]

I don't know how to troubleshoot this as a possible cause to why I can only get both INSERT & SELECT queries to work on one of the servers.

On the second server I get only SELECT query to execute.

I do not get an error message, and i do not get data entered into the database.

Hoping someone can help to figure why if I can get the SELECT then what is in the way of the INSERT?

good server - www.domain.com/destinationfolder (rented space on a shared server; no touchie Apache)

bad server - www.domain.com/folder/folder/public_html/folder/file (rented with dedicated server & IP address; Apache Comanche Mohawk sic the IT guy on it)

The 'bad server' requires pre-pending adminName_dbUserName and adminName_dbName. would this make a difference in how i write the INSERT query?

What can any one see that I cannot?

Thanks for you review and input.

Regards,
Amy

             here's the HTML code that both forms are using, 
 
 
<form method="POST" action="addrecord.php">
Company:<br/> 
<input type="text" name="Company" />
......
<input type="submit" name="add" value="Add New Record" />
 
</form>
 
here's the good server php/mysql - 
 
if($add) {
	
mysql_connect("host","user","pw");
mysql_select_db("db");
 
$query="INSERT INTO table (UniqueID, Company)";
$query.="VALUES (NULL,'$Company')";
$result=mysql_query($query);
if ($result) 
echo "Successfully added -- " .$company . " -- to the DB .";
 
}
 
 
here's the bad server php/mysql -
 
<?php
if($add) {
 
 
mysql_connect("localhost", "admin_user", "pw") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("admin_database") or die(mysql_error());
 
 
$query="INSERT INTO table (UniqueRecordID, PhoneNo, CompanyName)";
$query.="VALUES (NULL,'$PhoneNo','$CompanyName')";
$result=mysql_query($query);
if ($result) 
echo "Successfully added -- " .$CompanyName . " -- to the DB .";
}
 
 
?>
