Type this line of code before your line $db = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "testdb", "test123") or die(mysql_error());
The error u get will be pretty descriptive. If not revert back to me. nev L. -----Original Message----- From: Ricardo Fitzgerald [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] @ $db = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "testdb", "test123"); if (!$db) { echo "Error: could not connect to database. Please try again later."; exit; } mysql_db("mydb"); ... What can be wrong ? I'm starting to learn both php and mysql and I still can't understand why this happened.
