mysql_query stuff

Here are a couple of lines of code, the top "if" clause is executing, but the mysql_query insert isn't working, but the bottom will work with no problems. The if's are checking to see how many images were uploaded on the previous form. Any ideas what the problem might be?

if ((ereg("none", $image1) != 1) && (ereg("none", $image2) != 1) && (ereg("none", $image3) == 1)){
mysql_query ("insert into case_studies (project_id,abstract,blurb,logo,screen_capture1,site_url,logo_yellow,related1,related2,related3,rela ted4,related5) values ('$proj_id','$abstract','$blurb','$newlogo','$newimage2','$site_url','$newlogoyellow','$related1','$ related2','$related3','$related4','$related5')");
print "2"; //to check to make sure this is executing
}

if ((ereg("none", $image1) != 1) && (ereg("none", $image2) == 1) && (ereg("none", $image3) == 1)){
mysql_query ("insert into case_studies (project_id,abstract,blurb,logo,screen_capture1,site_url,logo_yellow,related1,related2,related3,rela ted4,related5) values ('$proj_id','$abstract','$blurb','$newlogo','$newimage2','$site_url','$newlogoyellow','$related1','$ related2','$related3','$related4','$related5')");
print "1"; //to check to make sure this is executing
}

I don't see anything wrong but then again looking at someone else's code makes me cross-eyed

add:

print mysql_error();

after each query to see what the problem is. This will print the error that mysql is returning as there must be something it doesn't like about the query if the "2" is printing and it isn't inserting.

seing only the snipet and none of the db might I suggest make sure the db is conected by calling up a record and print it. if you have not done so.
