Please read www.UDzone.com/go?1271 and post the required information.

I see from other mailing lists and groups you are posting the same problem. If you really want help, help yourself and give all pertinent information.

Sorry about that.

I am running Apache, MySQL and PHP 4.06 on a Win98 box.

My OBDC connection is called test and my database is also called test. And I my webserver is either localhost or 127.0.0.1

What happens is i make a conection to my database and it tests the conection fine. When I select to insert an updat or an insert it asks me to select a conection. I have selected a conection because if i hadn't i wouldn't be able to select my tables in the databse called test.

I think that is all the information you need? any more please ask becuse i am at a loss. I want to begin a major website using php and I need to get it to work on one of my coders computer so he can do all the basics using ultradev.

Cheers

No problem. The Guidelines are a new addition to the TalkZones.

Have you checked out the tutorial at www.udzone.com/go?1201 for MyODBC connections to MySQL ?

Another alternative is using a JDBC connection, for more information about that see the tutorial at www.udzone.com/go?1202

It is also possible there is a permissions problem. By default MySQL installs with two tables. One called mysql and another called test. If neither of these tutorials work for you it is possible that the permissions for the test table need to be altered (though this shouldn't be the case).

Try the MyODBC tutorial first, and if that doesn't work try the JDBC tutorial. If you have any further problems please let me know here.

The thing is I am able to verifiy that the conection works when i define the connection to begin with.

When i use the adobc test file it connects and updates my database no problem.

I was give the sugestion to delete the conection info in my root folder and save the file before i define the connection but i got the same problem!!! AAAArrgh!!

Please help me!! <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

I have also tried using jbdc to conect to a new database i set up. Still the same problem. This is very strange!

John

Excuse me for being stupid!!

I tried to use the insert/update bit at the bottom of the insert menu not in the live objects bit. Ah dear two nights of stressing!!!!

Sorry for bothering you lot and confuzing everyone and my self

John

John, no worries. At least we all know now where the problem was !
