Thanks for the help, all! Here was the problem...I think, I'm pretty sure,
eh?
In mysql_select_db($database_mydb, $mydb), I have the variable,
"$database_mydb", which is actually something that Macromedia's Dreamweaver
MX created (for those that don't know it, Dreamweaver MX supports a little
PHP).
Well, not to put the blame on Macromedia, it was all my fault and I now feel
a bit stupid, I think it all boiled down to "$database_mydb" not being
declared global in the function I wrote to do the query.
Funny that it worked probably 95% of the time. Must have been due to
mysql_pconnect or something holding open previous connections to the db and
the script just connecting to the last connected db. Anyway...
Sorry for the trouble!
