below I have a snippet from a trace file read out for a section of code below. The problem seems to be with '$sth->bind_param (2,$rh_row->{prop_str_addr});' The first Bind works fine however the next one in the line listed produces a null entry per the trace file. I have verified that the data is correct in '$rh_row->{prop_str_addr}' and that it is quoted but for some reason myql isn't recieving the data any help would be appreciated.
