ok guys, this code gives me an error of Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\classroom.php on line 17 What am I missing, I am sending a username from one screen and wanting to grab the dbname from the table, then get data from the db that is specified in dbname. I get the dbname fine but then I get errors. Thanks, Eddie <html> <body> <?php $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root"); mysql_select_db("users",$db); // display individual record $result = mysql_query("SELECT dbname FROM users WHERE username='$username'",$db); $myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result); printf("DBname: %s\n<br>", $myrow["dbname"]); ?> <?php $result=mysql_query("SELECT * from".$myrow["dbname"]."grades"); $myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result); printf("Subject: %s\n<br>", $myrow["subject"]); printf("Grade: %s\n<br>", $myrow["grade"]); ?> </body> </html>
