etc. etc. ....... _____________________________________________________ _________index.php_____________ <?php $db= mysql_connect("localhost","root","masood"); mysql_select_db("attendence",$db); $result= mysql_query("select uname,upasswd from user",$db); while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { if(($uname == $myrow["uname"]) && ($upasswd == $myrow["uname"]));

firstly the preceeding line should probably be: if(($uname == $myrow["uname"]) && ($upasswd == $myrow["upasswd"]));

{ echo $myrow["uname"]; echo $myrow["upasswd"]; } } ?> </body> </html> this give me error no 13, with uname,upasswd undefined, please help me out, TIA

get familiar with the var_dump() and print_r() functions. for instance what does the following output: $result= mysql_query("select * from user",$db); while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { print_r( $myrow ); } are the indexes 'uname' and 'upasswd' defined in each dumped array?
