I am sure Paul would not plug his own book, but I will it would help
to have a practical example to follow, so I recommend the book
"MySQL" by Paul Dubois, published by New Riders (check Amazon.com or
your local computer book store).
This will help you with error checking. I know it helped me!
Okay - that was silly of me. I was checking the return values of the
insert and the select, but I never did one for the connect.
It's failing on the connect - I'm assuming that all I have to do is ask
them what the proper way to connect to their database is.
Thanks for your help!
