I just pasted:
ALTER TABLE vips ADD NewAD FLOAT (11,2) DEFAULT '0.00' NULL
into the 'Run SQL' box on phpMyAdmin and it did exactly what it should do. I
did it both online (hosting servers) and offline on my Win/Apache and both
are fine, new column added.
However, via the PHP script we're discussing it doesn't create the column or
generate an error. The username and password that phpMyAdmin uses is the
same as the one the connections for the web site uses and that includes full
privelidges.
Baffled - me too!

Ok, this is a new one for me. I've never seen mysql_error() not return an
error *and* the sql statement not work. You mentioned earlier that you
are able to do this using phpMyAdmin, is that on the same server that
you are running your php script from? I am beginning to wonder if this
isn't a permissions problem. Does the user you are using have the
correct privileges from the server your php script runs on?
