anyone? ....or should I post in another forum more suited.

[!--sizeo:1--][span style=\"font-size:8pt;line-height:100%\"][!--/sizeo--] [!--fonto:Verdana--][span style=\"font-family:Verdana\"][!--/fonto--] I had this 'if else' statement which calls a function depending on whether a location or a date has been chosen from drop downs. The database has a field called 'depart_time' ie which is entered as UNIXTIME and has two rows, one for outward departure, and one for inward departure (flights) ie only their chronological difference indicates which. Although my solution for the location SQL query seems to have sorted the dates error, when searching by location, I can't figure out if I can alter my dates SQL to correct the problem when searching by month/year, or whether I should be looking elsewhere. BTW I'm fairly new to php/mySQL and this is me trying to correct someone elses code.

It may be the same problem I used to get. In your testing server window in the site setup, make sure that you have simply http://www.yoursite.com as dreamweaver puts in something like http://ftp.yoursite.com/web or whatever your directory is (htdocs, www etc) This one drove me mad for a while Andy

I\'ve tried every combination of username, password, host address, dbname that you can think of in the config file with no luck. I don\'t want to have a go unless I\'m sure it is their fault.

I\'ve installed phpMyAdmin on a remote server, input server ip, username and address as supplied by the hosting company and get #1045 - Access denied for user: \'signalpumps@213.171.218.20\' (Using password: YES) I assume from this that phpMYAdmin is seeing the server but having trouble with the username or password or access privaleges. Is there a way of finding out which, using telent or the sql monitor. What would be the prompts to use, as I\'m new to setting up a remote mySQL database. ps I\'ve tried a little connect php file as well with the same error [/b]
