I would say enabled error_reporting(E_ALL); error_reporting(-1); Then use die(mysql_error()); with your mysql function to get some debugging data. Also use var_dump($query_name) to find out what is spits out. Debugging is your best friend here. If you don't use die() or error_reporting() then you will see a blank screen. Ravi.
