OK, I see my error...understood and fixed... but it still does not work.
But I did have an error - the include was wrong - missing ../
Something is till amiss... the include configuration works, this does not?
Why?
<?
//include ("../lib/db1.php"); // Connect to database
$db_host = 'biggie';
$db_user = 'myuser';
$db_pass = 'my_pwd';
$db_name = 'biblane';
$db_connect = mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pass);
$db_select = mysql_select_db($db_name, $db_connect);
$sql1 = "INSERT INTO test (name, age) VALUES ('Arnie Shwartz', '75')";
$result1 = mysql_query($sql1,$db);
if (!$result1) {
echo("<P>Error performing 1st query: " .
mysql_error() . "</P>");
exit();
}
?>
