Re: PHP accessing MySQL

OK, I have found some more time to work on my PHP project. The problem is indicated in the following line: $tables = mysql_list_tables($db_names[$db_num]) or die("Couldn't list databases."); I took the variable $db_num and replaced it with a value of 1 as follows: $tables = mysql_list_tables($db_names[1]) or die("Couldn't list databases."); The output gave me the following results: The value of db_list is: mysql test twignud The value of dbs is: Resource id #2 The value of db_num is: 3 If I replace $db_num with a value of 0, 2 or 3 I get "Couldn't list databases." Any ideas anyone? Julie? Miles? Could this have anything to do with mysql user permission?
