Obviously, the code is different then, is it not?

To clarify: If we ask for exactness, we *mean* exactness. No changes, no 
nothing, but 100% identical code.

So, you do a DB search for @displayrecords before actually creating a DB 
record, and are surprised that that search returns nil? Then you create 
a DB record, and are surprised that you find something?

The name of an instance variable is utterly irrelevant. You can 
substitute @displayphoto with @foo, and @photo with @bar, and still get 
the same results.

Not an answer. Are there actual records in the database that you can 
find? Before creating a record in your code?
