The following code I'm playing with, but it doesn't write anything to my table. What's wrong? <?php if(!$name) { print("<form name=\"\" action=\"$PHP_SELF\" method=\"post\"> <input type=\"text\" name=\"name\"> <input type=\"submit\" name=\"name\"> </form>"); $db_name='dbname'; $db_user='username'; $db_password='password'; $table='tablename'; // Connect to the database $db_conn = mysql_connect("localhost",$db_user,$db_password); if (!$db_conn) { die ("ERROR: Cannot connect to the database."); //exit(); } $ip = $REMOTE_ADDR; $insert="select * from $table"; $db_query=mysql_db_query($db_name,$insert); if($name) { if($dbquery) { print("Done."); } else { print("Didn't work."); } } } ?> --IS -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
