Ken: Echo out the query. Check it. Run it from the MySQL client. What does the error message say? Does the table "109fh6" actually exist in the database? David # Ken responded: # # After adding echo mysql_error(); I get the same result. I tried changing # the query to include 109fh7 (a table which doesn't exist) and got the same # result as with 109fh6. Changing to 109fh5 does pull up that table. The # line to which the error message refers is while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc # ($data_set)) That is what always come up when there is an error in the # query. ************** On Mon, 12 Dec 2005 14:13:10 -0500, Micah Stevens <micah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > You're getting an error, after the query, put: > > echo mysql_error(); > > to find out what's happening. > > On Monday 12 December 2005 11:05 am, kc68@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: >> I made tiny changes to my php file and sql table and the table won't >> come >> up.
