"rahs" is the name of your db and your table?
It's a good idea to check for errors as you go. Try something like: <?php $db = mysql_connect("db30.pair.com", "net3dual", "rosevilleX1") or die("Couldn't connect: ".mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("rahs",$db) or die("Couldn't select db: ".mysql_error()); $search = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM rahs") or die("Query failed :".mysql_error()); while($num=mysql_fetch_array($search)) { ... Also, if that's your real user and password in the mysql_connect, you should change it now, as this is an open list.
