Change:[code]$db = mysql_connect(host', 'championships', 'passwd')
mysql_select_db('championships', $db);[/code]to[code]$db = mysql_connect('host', 'championships', 'passwd') or die("MySQL Connection Error: " . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('championships', $db) or die("Selecting database error: " . mysql_error());[/code]If theres a problem with your connection or if your database has a problem then you should recieve an message.

Also why post this in HTML Help Forum? Why not PHP Help?
