Dear Jim, thanks for your help. I've modified my codes as you adviced. But than the output is: " superclass koneksi dipanggil koneksi berhasil No results found " The column 'country' of table 'countries' already really contents complete all contry name from all over the earth. How come the query of "select country from countries" results empty value. So I believe the problem is still on the my OOP programming because if I do the query only with the "procedural concept" the $kueri will content the complete record of the column "country". Please keep telling what is my mistake on my OOP PHP5 codes. ----- //pelangganbaru.php <?php include_once "koneksi.php"; $sqlnya="select * from countries"; $klas=new koneksi($sqlnya); if ( mysql_num_rows($klas) > 0 ) { while( list($negara) = mysql_fetch_row($klas) ) { echo "negara->$negara<br>"; } } else { echo 'No results found'; } ?> ----- //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); $kueri=mysql_query($sqlnya,$konek) or die('MYSQL QUERY ERROR ['.mysql_errno($konek).'] '.mysql_error($konek)); }else{ echo "I can't talk to the server<br>"; exit(); } return $kueri; } } ?> </BODY> </HTML> === On Wed, 15 Aug 2007 13:13:18 -0700 Jim Lucas <lists@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Patrik Hasibuan wrote: > > Dear Jim, > > > > You've solved my problem, Jim.
