I had the code written the way you suggested, but changed it to the way the hosting company suggested. I am unclear. I have php 5.2.8.8 on my local machine, I also have MySQL 5.1.30 set up locally as well. I am using godaddy.com as a host. I assumed that the php was running on the host server and the local php that I have/use is only for the testing server. Does this sound correct to you? Again, many thanks.

Your code does look a little odd though: $dbc = mysqli_connect('$hostname','$username','$password') or die('Error connecting to MySQL server'); mysql_select_db('$usertable'); I would have written this as: $dbc = mysqli_connect($hostname,$username,$password,$usertable) or die('Error connecting to MySQL server'); /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.7°C) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
