Question

The big problem : mysql does not stores the information i told him to via PHP

Example (this req is an echo just before the query) :

INSERT INTO serveur (GSP_nom , IPserv, port, tickrate, membre, nomPays, finContrat, type, jeux, slot, ipClient, email) 
VALUES ( 'ckras', '88.191.88.57', '37060', '100' , '', 'Allemagne','20110519', '2', '4','99' ,'82.220.201.183','[e-mail]');

But on the MySQL i have :

403     ckras   88.191.88.57    32767   100         Allemagne   20110519    1   2010-04-25 00:51:47     2   4   99      82.220.201.183  [e-mail]

port : 37060 (right value) //// 32767 (MySQL’s drug?)

Any help would be appreciated, i’m worse than stuck and i’m **** off

PS: *There is no trigger on the mysql as far as i know / there is no controll on the port which means that nowhere i modify the “port” value

and this script works for 80% of the time ( it seems that as soon as the users enters a port >= 30000 it causes that bug), an user first reported to me this error today and the script was running since 3 months*

Thanks

Answer 1

You are probably using the smallint data type for the port attribute. The maximum value of this data type is 32767.

In fact, I have replicated your problem:

CREATE TABLE a(a smallint);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.09 sec)

INSERT INTO a VALUES (37060);
Query OK, 1 row affected, 1 warning (0.02 sec)

SELECT * FROM a;
+-------+
| a     |
+-------+
| 32767 |
+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

You would simply have to use a larger data type, such as mediumint or int.
