Well, you've mentioned your problem right here. 'or die (
"saysomethinghere" );'. Die meaing just that. "Die". Don't process
anything further.

Try something like:
$db = mysql_connect("X", "Y", "Z");
$db_error = mysql_errno();
if ($db_error <> 0) {
print "Error conencting to the database";
$db_error = 1;
} else {
# Do the rest of your MySQL Queries etc. here
# or do checks to make sure $db_error is 0 prior
# to doing any...
}
hope this helps, or atleast points you in the right direction for
resolution.
