Script fails, creates core.#### file

Kudose

Hello all. I am usingthe same class function on two different pages. THe first example works fine, the second one stalls in the middle of the script (as noted) and creates a 11MB core.#### file on my server. The ####'s are actually random digits.

Anyone know why this would be happening?

//THIS SCRIPT WORKS FINE
$a = array("aid", "aname", "adesc", "adate", "atime", "alink");
          $b = array($id, $name, $info, $date, $time, $link);

      if($db->arr_insert("announcements", $a, $b))
        echo '<h3>Announcement inserted into the database.</h3>';
      else
        echo '<h3>ANNOUNCEMENT INSERTION FAILURE!</h3>';

Here is the broken one...

$a = array("eid", "ename", "adesc", "edate", "estime", "eetime", "elink", "expires");
          $b = array($id, $name, $info, $date, $stime, $etime, $link, $expires);
//SCRIPT DIES HERE -- CREATES CORE.#### FILE
          if($db->arr_insert("events", $a, $b))
            echo '<h3>Event inserted into the database.</h3>';
          else
            echo '<h3>EVENT INSERTION FAILURE!</h3>';

Any help would be appreciated. I cannot view the core.#### file, it locks my text editor when trying to open it.

########EDIT##########

Turns out it is a core dump file.

When a program terminates abnormally, it may make a file named "core" in the process's working directory. The core file is a memory image of a process that terminated when any of various errors occurred. The most common types of errors which cause core dumps are memory violations, illegal instructions, bus errors, and user-generated quit signals.

So...how do I fix this?

Alright, so I added a print statment to my arr_insert function. As soon as it tries to execute the valid (as far as I can tell) query, it farts out.

Here is the function, if it helps.

function arr_insert($t, $a, $b){
	 if(count($a) !== count($b))
	   return false;
	 $sql = "INSERT INTO ".$t." (".implode(", ", $a).") VALUES ('".implode("', '", $b)."')";
         //CRAPS OUT AFTER PRINTING ABOVE LINE
	 if($this->query($sql)) //NOT SURE IF IT EXECUTES OR NOT -- DB DOESNT REFLECT IT
	   return true;
	  else
	   return false;
	}//end arr_insert
