I'm using PHP (v4.0.4) as a web front end for a MySQL (v3.23.29) database running on Windows 2000 machine. The problem is that I am relatively new (I've been messing with this for only a month) to this and don't really know where to look for information on the connection problems-- the web will not update the database, but only for one field. However, all the other fields are being updated as one would expect. The field in question is a drop down menu with at least a thousand items that are collected from one table in the database and then (are supposed to, if it would work) used to update another table-- could this be the problem? Is this a Windows problem (rebooting has solved every issue but this one so far)? Is there anything that I should look for specifically (note: I did not write the code that I'm using; I'm merely editing it for use)? Also, are there any good books out there written about using MySQL and PHP together? Most of the PHP books that I've seen online have had rather poor reviews by readers.
