Aesop Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Hello! This is my first real attempt at writing php to work with mysql and I am a DW user. Now when i test this page on apache, the form accepts all the data input, press submit, and I recieve no errors on screen. I check the db, and theres nothing there. Below I will supply the form and then the php file thats used for action: the form: <form name="updatebldg" method="post" action="bldgupdate.php"> <table width="105%" border="1" bordercolor="#FFFFFF"

cx409 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 try inputting your mysql_connect(); as a variable and use it after both the after database selection and insert strings. if all else fails, use the die(mysql_error()); or simply mysql_error(); functions to find out what's wrong...however, these errors are usually impossible to understand, but you can always post back here!
