The purpose of the script below is to load the same news item into two
different MySQL tables (thus displaying the same news item on two web
pages). The problem I am having is this: The script actually
works--but just once. The next time I run it (even days later), it
will not load the data. It just displays the error message from line
#37; in other words, there is no value in $result.
(BTW, I have stripped out all security temporarily. I understand that
in its present form this is an insecure script. It is not being left
on the server.)
Server PHP: 4.3.4
Server MySQL: 3.23.58
Can anyone figure out why this script would successfully load the two
tables, but only once? Thank you for your time and consideration.
