PHP is being silly

Parvenu

This script won't work. It worked yesterday.
I'm annoyed

($user is called from an external script)

$query = "SELECT user FROM weblog WHERE id='$id'";
$doquery = mysql_query($query)
or die(mysql_error());
$result = mysql_fetch_array($doquery);
$author = $result['user'];

if($author == $user){

$query = "SELECT * FROM weblog WHERE id='$id'";
$doquery = mysql_query($query)
	or die(mysql_error());

$result = mysql_fetch_array($doquery);
$title = $result['title'];
$body = $result['contents'];

}
else{
die(include("noaccess.php"));
}

this script fails, and when I output variables, I get this:

---VARIABLE TESTING---
Nick - author
Nick - user7 - id
false - filter
1 - access
1 - login
SELECT user FROM weblog WHERE id='7' - query
---END VARIABLE TESTING---

Tell me, does or does not $author == $user, and why is it telling me they are not equal when they clearly are?

I think my server recently upgraded to 4.3.0; are there any known bugs with this version?

Try to set the user manually at top of the script, then call it and see if it helps any.
Else, check the var: if $user is posted from a form, try
$user = $_POST['user']
