Gaia Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Well, with the code you have right there, it's not outputting anything, you've just saved the mySQL result to a variable...You need to remove the $result = part..[code]mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());[/code]Since you just want to update there's no need to save the result in a variable.

AV1611 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 First, you are missing a ' be fore the word host in the first line[code]$db = mysql_connect(host', 'championships', 'passwd')[/code]Second, Do you actually have a username a? (username = 'a') or do you mean unsername like 'a%'?Third, here is how I do PHP connect...[code] $user="myname"; $host="localhost"; $password="mypassword"; $database = "bible"; mysql_connect($host,$user,$password); mysql_select_db($database);[/code]You can even take these lines:[code]<?php $user="myname"; $host="localhost"; $password="mypassword"; ?>[/code]and put them in a file called mysqllogin.inc.phpthen just use:[code]include 'mysqllogin.inc.php';[/code]on all your web pages... it will save you a lot of typing Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/4420-what-is-wrong-with-this-script/#findComment-15346 Share on other sites More sharing options...
