This means that the function mysql_connect() cannot be found. It is part of PHP, but *only* when PHP is set to run with MySQL. It isn't a problem with MySQL, it's a PHP problem. I see that you are running it on your own computer. You need to run phpinfo() to see if you have PHP set to use MySQL. Create a file with just <?php phpinfo(); ?> and run that. See if there is any reference to MySQL in the page that it creates. It should have a complete paragraph of it's own. -- Pete Clark Sunny Andalucia http://hotcosta.com/Andalucia.Spain
