Re: catch the error

It is commented out because I am using "mysql_connect...." I don't think it would be good to use both, since the db1 references another db. But even when I use the db1.php and change the database and table, I get the same error message. But what I did miss is my typo in "What is wrond with this file?" :-) > Hi PJ, > Could it be that you have "//include ("lib/db1.php"); " commented > out? Try uncommenting that line and see what happens.
