I just wanted to let you know that this part:

PHP Code:


		
			
$connect=mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'glide75') or die(mysql_error());
echo "Connected to MySQL<br />";

Would output "Connected to MySQL" in addition to the mysql error if there is one.

So basically, if the connection fails, it will display the error and Connected to MySQL.

I am not very good at PHP, but I believe you could write an if statement for this.

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($connect) {
echo "Connected to MySQL<br />";
}
else {
die();
}

That's a good thought, but in the case of a connection error the echo line wouldn't execute because die() ends the script.

Ah!

So maybe instead of

PHP Code:


		
			
die(mysql_error())

He could use

PHP Code:


		
			
or echo("mysql_error()")

?

Please don't bash me if the above doesn't work, I'm not experienced and I'm also not sure if "or" works with echo.

It doesn't.

However, you can concatenate strings, vars, and function calls inside the die() statement:

PHP Code:


		
			
//let's be verbose...
die("Connected to SQL, but this program sucks because ".$somereasonhere." and MySQL said: ".mysql_error());
