Hi Flamer,

The problem is not lack of error handling, and the snippet I submitted
was just to illustrate the point. I am pretty sure that my problem
isn't the PHP code itself. Rather it has something to do with the
settings on the computer I am using at home. Firewalls, anitvirus, and
such, as suggested earlier, seemed like a possible source of my
problems, but unfortunately it didn't help to turn it all off.

I was hoping that this was some kind of "known problem" when using PHP
and mysql, but I guess I had no such luck.

Anyway, thanks for your efforts!
