Dear Jim, You've solved my problem, Jim. Thank you very much. Now, my code give the output as my expectation: " superclass koneksi dipanggil koneksi berhasil negara-> ". But come another problem, namely: the $negara is empty. I tried to read the documentation on " http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.object.php#language.types.object.casting " but I didn't manage to find the answer. I suspect the "return $kueri" could be only for 'returning' a variable of boolean or string or number but not 'returning' an array (such as the result of mysql_query("select country from countries",$koneksi) ) or an object (such as the result of mysql_connect() ). So how should I get the content of mysql_query() so I can get the value with "mysql_fetch_row()" or inherit array? Is is also possible to re-use the result of "mysql_connect()" or inherit the $konek? Here is my current code: ==== //pelangganbaru.php <?php include_once "koneksi.php"; $sqlnya="select country from countries"; $klas=new koneksi($sqlnya); $brs=mysql_fetch_row($klas->kueri); list($negara)=$brs; echo "<option value=\"$negara\">$negara</option>"; ?> ===== //koneksi.php <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META name="generator" content="HTML Tidy for Linux/x86 (vers 31 October 2006), see www.w3.org"> </HEAD> <BODY> <?php class koneksi{ var $namakompie="127.0.0.1"; var $un="root"; var $pw="mysuccess"; var $sqlnya; var $kueri; function koneksi($sqlnya){ echo "superclass koneksi dipanggil<br>"; $konek=mysql_connect("$this->namakompie","$this->un","$this->pw"); if ($konek){ echo "koneksi berhasil<br>"; $mybd=mysql_select_db("survey",$konek); $kueri=mysql_query($sqlnya,$konek); }else{ echo "I can't talk to the server<br>"; exit(); } return $kueri; } } ?> </BODY> </HTML> ==== Please keep telling me. Thank you very much in advance. ps: Thanks a lot too to Nathan Nobe and Robert Gegen for their responds... ==== On Wed, 15 Aug 2007 09:00:56 -0700 Jim Lucas <lists@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > A few missing pieces in your code.

I wrote still a very simple codes but it doesn't work as my manual book taught. the book titled "MySQL/PHP Database Application" by Jay Greenspan say these lines should work but in fact it don't work as expected. > > Here is my code: > > =============================== > > //pelangganbaru.php > > <?php > > require "koneksi.php"; > > $sqlnya="select country from countries"; > > $klas=new koneksi($sqlnya); > > ?> > > =============================== > > //koneksi.php > > <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> > > > > <HTML> > > <HEAD> > > <META name="generator" content="HTML Tidy for Linux/x86 (vers 31 October 2006), see www.w3.org"> > > > > </HEAD> > > > > <BODY> > > <?php > > class koneksi{ > > $namakompie="127.0.0.1"; > var $namakompie='127.0.0.1'; > > $un="root"; > var $un='root'; > > $pw="mysqlpw"; > var $pw='mysqlpw'; > > $sqlnya; > var $sqlnya; > > $kueri; > var $kueri; > > > > function koneksi($sqlnya){ > > echo "superclass koneksi dipanggil<br>"; > > $konek=mysql_connect("$namakompie","$un","$pw"); > $konek=mysql_connect($this->namakompie, $this->un, $this->pw); > > if ($konek){ > > echo "koneksi berhasil (connection succeeded)<br>"; > > $mybd=mysql_select_db("survey",$konek); > > $kueri=mysql_query($sqlnya,$konek); > > }else{ > > echo "I can't talk to the server<br>"; > > exit(); > > } > > return $kueri; > > } > > > > } > > ?> > > </BODY> > > </HTML> > > ===== > > > > Theoritically if Class "koneksi" is being initialized than it prints "koneksi berhasil (connection succeeded)" but it doesn't. > > > > Please tell me what is my mistake. > > > > Thank you very much in advance. > > > -- > Jim Lucas > > "Some men are born to greatness, some achieve greatness, > and some have greatness thrust upon them." > > Twelfth Night, Act II, Scene V > by William Shakespeare > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > > -- Patrik Hasibuan <patrikh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Junior Programmer -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
