    Help in understanding php

    Hi i have encountered a strange problem to which i am not able to
    figure out!.

    I have two separate databases, 1st stores user details, 2nd stores
    messages, they are on different ip address and both servers are
    synchronized by load balancer. The php script works fine except for
    this unique situation where the script is not able to display username
    and email address in textboxes, but it does display user number and
    associated message.

    My question is why is php refusing to display user name and email when
    it is stored successfully in the database and yet it displays user
    number from 1st database and message from 2nd database.

    I have tested the script with other username and email and it works
    fine! But it doesn't work with this particular user!

    Are there any bugs in PHP in which this situation can occur or is it
    something else?

    All your help is appreciated.

    Thanks

      Leaving aside the question of why you are using two databases, instead
      of two tables this sounds like either a coding or html problem.

      Either way, unless you have a good reason, I'd consider putting related
      data in the same database.

          Hey thanks for your reply, what do you thinks could go wrong in terms
          of coding or html, as I have mentioned, this is the only bit of data
          that is giving problems, the script works flawlessly with 99.99% of the
          data in the database. I have examined the data in the databases, they
          are just like any other bits of data. No fancy characters, etc!!

          Thanks

              Well then at this point I would use a debugger to track the problem
              down. I use Xdebug and tswebeditor to step thru the code line by line in
              problem blocks of code. Not sure if you are using a debugger. You could
              look at a free one here: http://tswebeditor.at.tf

                  Hey thanks for all your help and contributions. I have found out that
                  there was a problem with the load balancer, it was not synchronizing
                  the databases properply.

                  Thanks for all your help

                      Does your code depend on PHP sessions or cookies? You said you've
                      got two servers on two different IP addresses. Cookies set by one
                      IP may not be sent back to the other IP, depending on domain and
                      browser settings. If this is the problem, it's not a PHP bug, it's
                      a browser security feature.

                      Or maybe I'm completely off base here. You didn't show any code.
