Snippet not working to SET SESSION

Hi, I’m trying to do a SET SESSION to modify a variable in the DB that can’t be modified with a SET GLOBAL because of security reason.

My hosting support verified my code and told me that it should work but it doesn’t.

Do you have any idee how to solve this problem? I can provide you the code if needed I just have to hide the information to log in the DB.

Thanks
