}
$user=$_SESSION['valid_user'];

$query="select playerid, user, email, fatigue, maxfat, power, speed, dex, intel, health, maxhealth, gender from players where user='$user'";
$result=mysql_query($query);
if (!$result)
{
die (mysql_error());
}

$num_rows=mysql_num_rows($result);

         // connect to db
   $usertable = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password);
    mysql_select_db($dbname,$usertable);

[/code]

now the problem is when i have typed in a name (that i know exists) it brings nothing up at all, also it doe not show any of the things the other pages show in the top left of the page ($user, $playerid, $gender etc) it is just a normal page with no php echos at all although the other things in the echo like the () for instance show up.

[a href=\"http://twottk.com/game\" target=\"_blank\"]go here to see what i mean.[/a]

log in as:

Username: testacc
Pass: test123

anyway any help would be greatly appreciated.
