I'm using Xampp, have created and populated a database "addtransdb" with a table "addtransinfo" and am trying to use the below program to display the table. It displayed when I created the table (generated by: phpmyadmin 3.2.4 / MYSQL 5.1.41 - SQL quert: SELECT * FROM 'addtransinfo' LIMIT 0,30 ; ) so I guess the problem is here in my program? I don't get an error, I just get nothing. I am running win2000 prof

 

<?
$username="me";
$password="mine";
$database="addtransdb";
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
$query=" SELECT * FROM 'addtransinfo';
$result=mysql_query($query);
$num=mysql_numrows($result);
mysql_close();

My PHP error reporting is turned on and I get an error on line 76 pointing to the "<" which starts the PHP table? I have another program , almost identical, without HTML , that works?

 

 

<?php
$username="root";
$password="";
$database="addtransdb";

mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
$query="SELECT * FROM addtransinfo";
$result=mysql_query($query);

$num=mysql_numrows($result);

mysql_close();
?>

Again, PLEASE use 



 tags, you'll see why your program doesnt work with syntax highlighting:


 






<?php
$username="root";
$password="";
$database="addtransdb";

mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database"); //***didn't i suggest removing the @?***
$query="SELECT * FROM addtransinfo";
$result=mysql_query($query);

$num=mysql_numrows($result);

mysql_close();
?>
