I cannot get this table to work even though i hav eit working PERFECTLY in 3 other instances, now what i dont get is it seems to be a connection issue between the database and the form, now that makes some sense to me. What doesnt make sense is when i do the exact solution to connect it to the database, it doesnt work at all. what gives!

<?php mysql_select_db('numbers', mysql_connect('localhost','root',''))or die(mysql_error());?>

do you get any error messages?

no, no error messages at all, just no result :/

semicolon missing maybe.

no ive gone over it pretty closely, found nothing missing.

Member Avatar for iamthwee

I can see three missing.

I tried that, putting the three semi Colons at the end of my echo lines but they arent there in my other tables and they work just fine, plus it yielded the same result. I even tried moving some of the html around but NOTHING, its gotta be where it cant access the database, but why cant it? I dont see how this is any different execpt MAYBE where this table is along side another html file for uploading, but that shouldnt make any difference.

I figured out the issue, i was posting twice on the same page, not allowed so i fixed it.
