> Any thoughts? Are you dying and outputting an error where something could happen to bodge up the server? I'm not familiar with MS SQL Server, but I know under mysql: <?php $link = mysql_connect($host,$username,$password) or die(""); // I forget the next line off the top of my head /* returns null if $link didn't work and we didn't die */ $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table"); ?> -Dan -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
