wildteen88 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 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? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/4416-what-is-wrong-with-this-script-pls-tell-me/#findComment-16143 Share on other sites More sharing options...
