every time you use @ in front of the function call, it'll suppress error messages for that function. What you need to do is remove @.
for example bad -> @mysql_connect good -> mysql_connect Wade Smart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: 02082006 1242 GMT-6 Im working on this little project and I keep running into this error. Problem is I dont know what the error is. I have in a if statement to print out the mysql_error() if there is a problem but the statement only prints out: Could not connect to Mysql because: . It doesnt print out the error. But here is the really odd thing: I have two of these scripts. One works, one doesnt. Both use the same user and password and I just dont see a problem. Im using mysql 4.1 and php 4 and apache2 on Ubuntu.
