Ok so my mysql db was corrupted today, so i cleaned out the bad blocks, but this didn't solve my original problem, which was that 2 specific fields were being reassigned to different values in the database. The application isn't calling these fields, and it is going through and rewriting everything...
I just installed a dummy copy and new database and its started rewriting everything again. any clue as to why this would be occuring? i didn't write the app, my programmer did, but he swears he isn't writing to this field. any ideas? is it a server based thing (i.e. mysql or redhat running amok?) or is it application based (in his php script)?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hard to say without knowing more about your table, and the field that's being overwritten.
