File Upload and MySQL

I have an admin site where users can upload files. Information about the file like file name and song name are stored in a Mysql db. Here's a snippet of code: //add the MP3 meta data to the database $mp3ID=addMP3($songName,$isStudio,$HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name'],$user name,$password,$host,$databaseName,&$dbErrorArray); if(// if no errors inserting the meta data into mysql){ handleupload($DOCUMENT_ROOT,$HTTP_POST_FILES,&$errorArray,"audio","/mp3/"); if(//errors copying up the file){ //delete the database entry deleteMP3($username,$password,$host,$databaseName,$errorArray,$mp3ID); } } The problem is this: If there are errors uploading the file, I can see in my debug output that the SQL call to delete the MP3 meta data executed, but yet when i check the db using mysql connect, the record still exists in the db. I have to manually delete it for the record to disappear. What's going on? Carl
