Re: persistent connections/mysql (mysql examples)

Hi, The other day I went through mysql.xml to edit out mysql_db_query then it turned into modifying every example to be somewhat similar. Wasn't sure to commit so did nothing :) Let me know if this sounds fine and don't hesitate to be picky. echoing the fetched results, not sure the best way to present that. $conn = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass); mysql_select_db($database); $query = "SELECT user_id,fullname FROM table"; $result = mysql_query($query); if (!$result) { echo 'Query Failed: ' . mysql_error(); exit; } while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { echo 'User Id: ' . $row['user_id'] . "\n"; echo 'Full Name: ' . $row['fullname'] . "<br />\n"; } mysql_free_result($result); mysql_close($conn); > > 2. one more word on the examples (from the english manual): > > mysql_connect("mysql_host", "mysql_login", > > "mysql_password") > > mysql_connect ("kraemer", "marliesle", "secret") ... > > Using always the same syntax may improve understanding?

Removed mysql_db_query from "See also" too. > No, you cannot remove my girl friends :) Hmm, we need girlfriends too :) regards, Philip Olson
