Awesome! I didn't get any errors (all zeros), but your reply made me go find an example of how to use the mysql_error, and I rewrote the code (see below-non-working code commented out.) Not sure why it works this way and not the other, but it DOES! If I knew where you were, I'd send you cookies! :) Thanx everyone for helping me! CJ mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password"); echo mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()."<BR>"; mysql_select_db("databasename"); echo mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()."<BR>"; $conn = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM address_book"); echo mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()."<BR>"; PREVIOUS CODE COMMENTED OUT // $connect = mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password") || die ("cannot connect"); // echo mysql_error(); // mysql_select_db($databasename, $connect); // echo "This is the error :" . mysql_error($connect); // $sql = "Select * from address_book"; // $result = mysql_query($sql, $connect); while($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($conn)) { echo "here is a row<br>"; $id = $myrow["id"]; echo "$id<br>"; } CJ "No other personal quality contributes to success more than relentless persistence in the pursuit of one's goals." -----Original Message----- From: Zak Greant [mailto:zak@nucleus.com] Sent: Monday, June 19, 2000 3:18 PM To: CJ Romberger; 'Robert Hall' Cc: 'php-db@lists.php.net' Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] Help!
