Jesus Christ... everyone on this list must've had a long week, because you guys are going blind. :D In examples sent to you, people foolishly replaced your $db var with $db_connect ONLY FOR PART OF THE SCRIPT. You've defined your database connection as $db_connect in some versions of the source, but then you reference $db (without _connect) in your mysql_select call in that same source. $db = mysql_connect([option list here]); # <-- this code instantiates a connection mysql_select_db([some name], $db); # notice how $db is here? $result = mysql_query([some query], $db); # it's here, too! $db becomes your resource link when you use mysql_connect. That resource link must then be passed to your mysql functions. Otherwise, they have no idea which database connection you are attempting to use. # BAD: $db = mysql_connect([options]); $result = mysql_query([some query], $db_connect); # what's $db_connect? who knows! # GOOD: $db = mysql_connect([options]); $result = mysql_query([some query], $db); # same resource link from mysql_connect See?
