Hi, I have mysql, apache and php on my redhat 7 box and when I try to retrieve some data from the database and display it on a webage, it doesn't display anything. I seem to be able to connect to it fine but not pull any data. Here is the main part of the code I am using: <html> <head> <title> #### This is a PHP test #### </title> </head> <body bgcolor="blue"> <?php //db_connect.php include "common_db.inc"; error_reporting(1); $link_id = db_connect("phptest"); if (!$link_id) { die (sql_error()); } else echo "Successfully made a connection to $dbhost using $default_dbname . <br>"; if (!$result=mysql_query("select * from user",$link_id)) { echo "No! I selected nada from the user table"; } else echo "Yes I can connect! Amen!"; ?> </body> </html> Basically what happens is I get the message saying that I successfully connected to the database and then underneath I get the "No! I selected nada..." message. Could someone point me in the right direction?
