"One of these things is not like the other. One of these things doesn't belong." It sounds like you just need to do some debugging. You have two things. One works, and one doesn't. Take the one that works (or a copy) and change one thing at a time until it is identical to the thing that doesn't work. If you test after each change, you should reveal something. As far as some things to try... Are you connecting to MySQL in both scripts? Why don't you output mysql_error() whenever $result is false and see what it says? Hope that helps.
