You’re user can’t connect to the database. You need to make sure the user has permissions and you are using the correct password. Also be sure that you have the user enabled for local_host.

Once I run the test, I do see the table column field names on the return search page such as:

ID:
First Name:
Last Name:
Phone:

but I don’t get any of the actual data from the database.

I assume the coding of .$row is responsible to get this data onto the search result page.

I have just a blank page.
In phpMyAdmin on request – “SELECT * FROM TestTable” I have “#1064 – You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘TestTable’ at line 1″

i did a few more editing but got this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/ijsshrco/public_html/assignments.php on line 35

My php code is as follows:

Oteh’s Assignments

//make connection
mysql_connect ("localhost","ijsshco_assignments","master123") or die ('I cannot connect to be database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("ijsshco_assignments");
//build query
$query = mysql_query("select * FROM contacts");
//display results
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)){
echo //tells php to print the results to screen
"ID: “//html for label. Goes to new line and prints label
.$row['ID']. //selects our first row data ID and prints it
” Name: “//more html just tells the web browser to go the next line. Line we print the label out.
.$row['name']. //prints our name data
” School: ” //more html another break tag and label
.$row['school']. //grabs school data from Database
“Course Title: ” //
.$row['course_title']. //prints Course Title data
“Course Code: ” //
.$row['course_code']. //prints Course Code Data
“Registration Number: ” //
.$row['reg_no']. //prints Course Code Data
“Email: ” //
.$row['email']. //prints Course Code Data
“Upload: ” //
.$row['upload']. //prints Course Code Data
“;} //final break and we close the loop.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in /home/ijsshrco/public_html/assignments.php on line 22
I wish i could upload my program as an attachment but i’ll post it all the same:
