imdb keeps asking for a phone number or credit card before I can post, though I've done this before. I did it again yesterday, and now it's asking again today but it's not accepting the code I'm being sent by text.

Credentials that have already been used to authenticate an account and were later deauthorized can't be re-used -- that's the whole point of the system.

What you are describing is happening because it appears that you are trying to authenticate again using a phone number that was already used for this purpose at some point in the past, but was later later stripped of its authentication.

I just did this yesterday though. Why is it giving me a problem today?
