Answer 1

Everything in my new website is working just fine

...until something goes wrong.

You have to learn how to handle errors.

run all your queries at least this way.

$query  = "SELECT * FROM members WHERE useremail = '$useremail'"
$result = mysql_query() or trigger_error(mysql_error()." ".$query);

and you always be notified of any error and it's reason

or implement any other way of error notifications, employing mysql_error() function which is the only thing in the world that can tell you where the actual problem is.
