Hello Walter, No errors, just not the results I want. I run the following script: <? echo "DB connection testing !"; $mySQL = @mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "password") or exit(); echo "DB selecting !"; if (!mysql_select_db("my")) exit(); echo "DB connection okay !"; ?> I only see the string DB connection testing.
