akphidelt2007 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Have you established a connection to the database? Try $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM templeagues WHERE templeague='$templeague'") or die(mysql_error()); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrMarcus Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Well, you must establish a connection to the database at some point. Your queries simply won't execute without one. "MySQL server has gone away" can be caused from a number of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
