Hi, I've now got PHP4 running OK, and I've just tried running our first piece of existing code, which keeps bombing out with: " Warning: 1 is not a MySQL link index in ./include/stddb.php on line 150 Failed to connect / login to the map database. :0 " The code causing this is: " /* 'x's replace the real details in this email */ $SQLDB_ServerName = "xxxxxxxxxx"; $SQLDB_UserName = "xxxxx"; $SQLDB_Password = ""; $SQLDB_DBName = "xxxxxxxxxx"; /* Connect to the Map Database */ $MainDB = mysql_connect( $SQLDB_ServerName, $SQLDB_UserName, $SQLDB_Password ); if( $MainDB == false ){ sql_fail( "Connecting to Map DB" ); } $Temp = mysql_select_db( $SQLDB_DBName, $MainDB ); /* Error if we can't connect */ if( $Temp == false ){ echo( "Failed to connect / login to the map database.\n" ); echo( mysql_error().":".mysql_errno() ); exit(); } " If this is a result of bad code - or the new boolean state of true & false (or something else equally as silly), my appologies (I am going to bed now!)... The code above is historical - it may be a case of "it's wrong, but it worked before - which doesn't make it right" - if you get what I mean... The above works OK on PHP 3.0.6 -Karl -- PHP 4 Beta
