Re: [PHP-DB] Username
What exactly is the error message? Did you change config.php to use the name of your database and your username password? I've found the articles at devshed to be helpful in the past.

Re: [PHP-DB] Username
I am not getting an error message. The te.php is connecting to the data base. Just not doing what I want it to. While that is a very good tutorial (if I was just logging in) but it has nothing to do with inserting information into the database via a form. But thanks for the tut. It will come in handy when I get to that point in my learning stage. Jen Robert Weeks [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

Re: [PHP-DB] Username
Jennifer, You have a clear idea of what you want done by the script - as guided by the book. However, do you have a clear idea of what the script is actually seeing - and therefore why it is doing what it's doing? When debugging, add a heap of ECHO statements to test pertinent values, eg before a branch/decision make sure you KNOW what the value IS (cf what it 'should be'). When you do this, it is most likely that the error/omission will become clear. =dn I am not getting an error message. The te.php is connecting to the data base. Just not doing what I want it to. While that is a very good tutorial (if I was just logging in) but it has nothing to do with inserting information into the database via a form. But thanks for the tut.

Re: [PHP-DB] Username
If you read to part 2 of the tutorial it has quite a bit on inserting data. The reason there are tutorials and books are to teach the *concepts* behind what they are showing you. This is probably what is tripping you up; you create the table with uid as an integer, auto increment, not null field, then your insert statement tries to insert NULL into that field. You need to change this: $query = INSERT INTO users (uid, name) VALUES(NULL, $name); To this: $query = INSERT INTO users (name) VALUES ($name); Robert On 2/5/02 10:46 AM, Jennifer Downey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am not getting an error message.
