John, aren't you using Postgres?   I seem to recall that you were; are you 
seeing the same problems?

Are we sure it's with PHP?  If it was just a problem with it making a 
"loud" query as far as error returns, wouldn't that mean that we get the 
error but the following update command would still be successful?
