Hello All, I am (attempting to write) writing an admin web interface for a CMS and as usual my first hurdle that I have to jump appears on the first line of real code...:( The admin's function is to allow simple database management for multiple mysql databases via a browser. The issue that I am having right now is that I am trying to retrieve the names of all of the mysql databases that have been created. Using the command line this is a simple SHOW DATABASE; However, the mysql_query doesn't return any values. Here's the code: $dbquery = mysql_query("SHOW DATABASES;"); $i = 0; while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($dbquery)) { $arr[$i] = $row['post_title']; echo "<br> $i=$arr[$i]"; $i++ ; } This is probably a stupid post but what the heck Schutzy
