Recommended Posts

hi i need help. the codes i written to connect to a database (MySQL) can't be executed. i'm not sure y. this is my codes. i did a echo 'testing'; juz before "@ $db= mysql_pconnect("localhost", "root","password");" it shows out "testing". however, if i do a echo 'testing'; after "@ $db= mysql_pconnect("localhost", "root","password");" it doesn't show anything. it appears that the codes are not executed after that line. am i coding anything wrongly? please correct me.. thanks alot..

<tr>
<td width="40%"><div align="right"><strong>Site:</strong></div></td>
<td width="60%"><strong>
<?php

@ $db= mysql_pconnect("localhost", "root","password");
if (!$db){
echo 'Error: unable to connect to database. Please try again later.';
exit;

}
mysql_select_db('psarecords');
$query= "select site from tblsite";
$result= mysql_query($query);
$num_results = mysql_num_rows($result);

echo '<select name="ListSite" id="ListSite">';
echo "<option>--------</option>";
for ($i=0; $i <$num_results; $i++)

If you're working with Dreamweaver, why don't you just use the Dreamweaver features to recreate that connection and data?
