Thanks, that was a little more helpful.
Here's my answer to your questions:
1. I was given these database info by my PHPmyadmin host.
2. Same as above.
3. OK, thanks but I thought by default it chooses the top row which for me is default, so I don't need to have a criteria.
4. OK, thank you, but I got this from: http://php.about.com/od/phpwithmysql/ss/mysql_php_2.htm
5. OK, then could you tell me an alternative?
Thanks, I am in the process of learning.
Spell? I can spell perfectly fine thanks, at least I know how to use grammar properly as-well. Anyway, I'm not trying to gain a better impression, I'm trying to learn how to programme in PHP.
