mysql_query INSERT products, Question

[HighJump]

Greetings Zen Heads,

I created a PHP form which creates new products in zen-cart. I used this zen-cart wiki link to reference which tables need to be populated:

http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...rting_products

I was able to populate the tables by running a few INSERT QUERIES, however, I'm running into a problem when validating the data inside the "online catalog".

SCENARIO 1: If I create a new product in category-ONE using my new PHP form, while viewing the "online catalog", then clicking on category-ONE, I get a blank page, instead of seeing the category page with the newly populated product.

SCENARIO 2: Then after, If I create a new product in category-ONE using the "zen cart admin", while viewing the "online catalog", then clicking on category-ONE, I see the products created by my new PHP form AND the "zen cart admin".

Can someone help me figure out what piece of code I'm missing from SCENARIO 2 which fixes the "blank page" error I'm getting with SCENARIO 1?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and have a great day,

HighJump

Dr Byte,

Thanks for providing the link.

I tried using the "Debug Error Logging Utility" method by coping the enable_error_logging.php to it's respective folders. However, even after giving 0777 permission to the cache folder, a log file has yet to be generated.

I tried the second method which asks to create a configure.php file. This method worked and I am currently reading through the long list of debugging results.

Another troubleshooting method I will try is to install a fresh copy of zen-cart, leave everything default, and try my INSERT PRODUCT PHP FORM on a fresh installation of zen-cart.

Any other ideas?

Thanks and Take Care,

HighJump

Ignore all the notice, warnings in the debug. You should only look at the "fatal errors"
