Test: - create a new account user - go into the www directive - create a index file - do phpinfo() - try and connect to a msql server, no query needed just a connection - under that delibrately try and enter a mysq server but use a wrong pass, make sure you error report it with some message on screen. if it connects and one fails your connections are fine. However make sure you CLOSE each connection seperatley. What appears to be happening in your code it it's not going near the mysql server, it's skipping it. Which means the die error will not appear if it skips it. Ensure php is enabled and mysql is booted etc. Also don't try and connect localhost to it, use the outside world.

Bastien Koert <bastien_k@xxxxxxxxxxx> a écrit : The code does need to know what the fields are...I think a more likely issue is the query for some reason, also change the $query to result in the query statement try $result=pg_query($query) or die(pg_error()); //to see if there are any errors with the query while($row=pg_fetch_array($result,NULL,PGSQL_ASSOC)) { echo "Title: ".$row['isbn_no']."
