There's a couple different ways you can do includes, but suffice to say I am sure it is working :)

It's not required, per the manual. They say if it isn't specified, then it looks first at
mysql_connect() for a connection. If nothing there, it uses any existing connection (which is set
in my config file). So it's using my connection there. If it weren't - I would imagine I would be
getting a mySQL error :)

Tried removing the space, concatenating the values, and various groupings of quotes, all to no
avail. Also checked my column names, which were fine.

Again I can run this query in mySQL successfully so I am really stumped now! How can I debug this?
What can I do to find out what is happening with the query?
