No. This is not the problem. At the current situation I'm not able to
insert a row into the table. It fails constantly without any error
messages and even if I call "psql -c "Insert statement" dbase" from
the php script without using the php interface. This is not a problem
appearing sometimes but all the time after it has first happened.
