Thanks Bj and Sheila,
This was cut and paste from a tutor course! Your variation produced
this:
1146: Table 'mydb.employees' doesn't exist
Which is more confusing than ever. Since MSDos set up the database
without confirming and was offended when I tried to set it up again, I
assumed the data had also been moved into the db since dos did not say
'error'. I also had the impression that if the PHP info list didn't
include something it meant that version could not recognise it.
Simple! What has happened to simple?
But the set up seems also to refuse to recognise a new file until I do
a restart; I suppose it is the limits of this computer. Or it
could be some corruption somewhere? Don't tell me.... it's
something else...
