I am now getting the following error:

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in
/home/httpd/vhosts/localhost/httpdocs/data/up.php
on line 21

Why do you think that is?

How about NOT masking the error message by using mysql_query(), instead of
@mysql_query(). And instead of using die(), use echo mysql_error().
