Jeff: Hmm. I was expecting those two files to fail. What doesn't make sense is if they worked, why the other one wouldn't. Or, more succinctly, why the other one fails where it does. If it's having problems connecting, it should fail at the connect step, not at the select database step.
Here's what I suggest. Since the only thing I'm pulling from the vB files for this is username, password, db host, and database name, put these up at the top of the last10.php file as so:
Find
Code:
// let's get connected
require("last10config.php");
require("$path/config.php");
and replace it with
Code:
// let's get connected
require("last10config.php");
$servername = "localhost";
$dbusername = "dbusername";
$dbpassword = "dbpassword";
$dbname = "dbname";
and change the info to your details. That should work. If it still doesn't let me know and I'll look into it some more.
