phpNuke backend & Sentinel no longer writing 2 database?

I'm not really sure if the subject is acurate, or even how 2 describe it...

I've been running Nuke 7.6 Patched w/ Sentinel 2.1.1 since it came out not 2 long ago... all was well & everything worked just as it should. Having checking around on another module that I'm currently working on (for streaming audio), I was having a problem w/ the 'nuke_modules' table didn't update itself for my newly created & uploaded module. Six briefly said that it means something's not working as it should and that my number of fields may have increased.

After poking & proding around C'ing if it was the module, I noticed that Sentinel has also stopped writing 2 the database w/ its last entry dating Feb 23rd which also happens 2 B the day I started the module. That thread is also in this forum.

I don't mean 2 split the thread from my module as I know it has 2 B related, but am really hoping I can correct whatever is wrong.

HELP!

I just don't C how screwing around w/ the Downloads module could do anything... it doesn't even C'm 2 B integrated w/ phpNuke, just another module. I didn't screw around w/ the database until 2x days afterwards either, so can't B that. Am thinking now mayB it's just a coincidence? but is kinds hard 2 swallow.

Feb 23 - Started modifying standard Downloads module for MMS:// (modifications ONLY to modules/downloads/index.php)
Feb 23 - Last time Sentinel wrote 2 database
Feb 24 - Only modifications to index.php, but Sentinel had already stopped writing before these
Feb 25 - Copied my modifications to create a 2nd module called 'Media_Library', also created duplicate media_library_downloads tables (plural)

The only thing changed on Feb 23rd (in index.php) is this:

Code:




function getit($lid) { 


    global $prefix, $db; 


    $lid = intval($lid); 


    $db->sql_query("update ".$prefix."_downloads_downloads set hits=hits+1 WHERE lid='$lid'"); 


    update_points(17); 


    $result = $db->sql_query("SELECT url FROM ".$prefix."_downloads_downloads WHERE lid='$lid'"); 


    list($url) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result); 


// in_array won't work on older php versions this way 


// Add media extensions to this array lower case only! 


    $allowed_ext  = array( 


                       "wav", 


                       "mp3", 


                       "avi"); 


$ext = substr(strrchr(strtolower($url), "."), 1);          


if(in_array($ext, $allowed_ext, true)){ 


    $url = ereg_replace("http://","mms://",$url);} 


    Header("Refresh: 0; url=$url"); 


}

Hoping some1 can gimme some direction on Y Sentinel wouldn't B tracking IP's and Y phpNuke isn't updating its own tables.

I'll B your best friend!?!
