I personally dont use this, i use the PEAR:MDB2 classes, so this was just a quick php.net search... WHICH would have helped the OP on this one. http://ca.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.query.php I hate to say it, since i was a noob once, but RTFM, or LRN2GOOGLE and you will find it easier, and then once you can't understand it, ask. but there was so much fail in the OP's code. sorry. I think the scary part, is that you're being forced to learn PHP to develop in, and you can't figure out a simple echo statement?
