" | "; ?><html><head><title>Create a database</title></head><body><form action = "<?php echo( $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ); ?>"method="post">Current database: <?php echo( $list ); ?><hr>Name: <input type = "text" name = "db"><input type = "submit" value = "Create Database"></form></body></html>I know very little about php and cant see whats wrong with this as the book does not explain any help or links to tutorials would be greatthanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibby Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 are you using that in an [b].html[/b] file, or [b].php[/b] ? It's got nothing to do with your DB. It's a file not found error.Am I reading this right , "[b]/[/b]C:/xampp/htdocs/" ? Whappup with the slash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
