peranha Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 $dbcnx = mysql_connect("servername","dbname","username","password") mysql_select_db("comments"); Should be $dbcnx = mysql_connect("servername","username","password"); mysql_select_db("dbname"); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
