I believe that which database engine a table uses is determined for each table, not for the entire database. When you create a table without specifying the database engine the table uses myisam by default. Are you sure you changed both your parent and your child table to innodb (you say you changed "it" rather than "them")?

It may help if you post a description of the tables here. For example, from the MySQL command line (not in PHP):

mysql> SHOW CREATE TABLE people;
+--------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Table  | Create Table                                                                                                                                                                                               |
+--------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| people | CREATE TABLE `people` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(25) DEFAULT NULL,
  `dob` date DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=5 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 |

When you say you can't INSERT data in your parent table, could you show us an example of the code you are using to attempt that and quote the error message, if any, that results when you run it?
