Hi, the simplicity of the site seems great. Tried the following without success.
Am I missing a trick or are there no short cuts?

<?php
$user_name="root";
$password="";
$database="moviesite";
$server="127.0.0.1";

$db_handle=mysql_connect($server,$user_name,$password);
$db_found=mysql_select_db($database,$db_handle);

if($db_found){
print "Database Found!";

SELECT movie_type,
movie_name
FROM tb_movie;

}
else{
print "Database NOT found";
mysql_close($db_handle);
}
?>

Nothing missing , just a screw loose! Fixed the silly syntax error added the while loop

HI,
I found a pretty good MySQL tutorial for absolute beginers,

WikiHow MySQL

It's on Wiki How, Its shows you how to Create Databases in MySQL Terminal (Command Line), This is actualy easier than the GUI.
Before this Tutorial, I had no @#!*ing clue how to use SQL.
PLEASE check it out if you lost and considering giving up!! grinning smiley
