Few Suggestions For Debugging

• Check the output of $_REQUEST using print_r($_REQUEST)
• Or See output of your query using exit($query)
• See if mysql returns any error mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error())

And put this on top of your script to see any other errors from current page or included pages:

ini_set('display_errors', true);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
