Right, however, I am following the progression of 1,2,3. My code I pasted here showed that the connection function did the connect and select in the same function and in my debugging I did confirm that $db does equal my_database. I have also manually typed it in and it still doesn't work. It's as if the PHP mysql_select_db function simply doesn't want to select the right table. However it does fine when connecting to the Mysql 3.23 server.
Firstly, you will have to re-read your message before you press the send button each time. What you are saying is very unclear to the rest of us.
Nextly, your statement:
It's as if the PHP mysql_select_db function simply doesn't want to select
the right table.
Note, that PHP's mysql_select_db DOES NOT select a table. It selects a DB.
The first thing to do to your script is this:
1. Strip ALL @ symbols before functions. Its a wreckless havoc.
2. Secondly, do not put blame on PHP's mysql_select_db function as there about 5000 people using that function successfully.
3. Thirdly, _completely) clear up your file, and start fresh, with just necessary lines of code. Remove all unnecessary IF conditions, for the time being. Something like this:
<?php
$host = "your_host"; $username = "your_username"; $pass = "your_pass";
$database = "your_database";
$connection = mysql_connect ($host,$username,$pass); $select = mysql_select_db ($database);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table_name");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
print_r ($row);if (!$connection || !$select || !$result)
echo mysql_error();?>
Run, this beautiful code, and see if you get any output at all. If not, check if spellings are correct. If you do not get any error messages, set the error_reporting value to 'all' using PHP's ini_set() or the error_reporting() function.
If you still don't get any errors, and if your query doesn't work, take a coffee break, and come back next day. Still doesn't work, punch your monitor hard, because you need HELP.
