As long as you supply the correct path to your database and the correct password.
Then select the correct database you should be good to go.

this makes output saying:
18:32Mar 12 2007You're visitor No. 5.
how can i make it so that they are on different lines, e.g
18:32 Mar 12 2007 You're visitor No. 5.
Just use a <br> tags within an echo. like this
echo' <br>';
after each output that you want to see
:lol: I am not one of those who wait for things to happen, :p but one of those who make things happen ;)
