Here's the working code... <? //include ("../lib/db1.php"); // Connect to database $db_host = 'xxxx'; $db_user = 'xxxx'; $db_pass = 'xxxx'; $db_name = 'xxxx'; $db = mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pass); mysql_select_db($db_name,$db); $sql1 = "INSERT INTO test (name, age) VALUES ('Arnie Shwartz', '75')"; $result1 = mysql_query($sql1,$db); if (!$result1) { echo("<P>Error performing 3st query: " . mysql_error() . "</P>"); } echo $sql1; echo "<br />"; echo $db_select; exit(); ?> This works fine either as is or using the include... :-) 9el wrote: > But the question is PJ, have you got it out of errors yet? :) > > www.twitter.com/nine_L <http://www.twitter.com/nine_L> > www.lenin9l.wordpress.com <http://www.lenin9l.wordpress.com> > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > Use FreeOpenSourceSoftwares, Stop piracy, Let the developers live.
