In your code you have mysql_select_db() as fourth parameter to mysql_connect(). While the fourth parameter is boolean and won't generate any error at runtime, it's use- and senseless. The 4th parameter on mysql_connect specifies if PHP should use an existing link, or create a new one. You should decide whether you want to go with mysql_select_db() or mysql_connect(). -- >O Ernest E. Vogelsinger (\) ICQ #13394035 ^ http://www.vogelsinger.at/
