Probably a network blockage if you can access it locally. Go over network configs, routers, firewalls, ISP blocks, etc.

no. I can't access anything.

I get time out error.

Dragon of Ice, can you get to a non server side page (only has html) ?
If you can the blockage could be caused by a run away loop (while 1=1 .... )

Ah, no, I wasn't able to. Nor can I now.

Abhi, were you able to access the site? Because I can't off any other computer than the host it self.

whoops just found it
It was during debugging. gotta take out "echo $query"

Also, I got it to work with GET, so that means it should work with POST. Now on to the security, but first, I have to finish some layout things for the page (namely the entire site).

Dragon of Ice — Sun, 03 Oct 2004 14:12:53 +0000

I understand all the security things I'm doing wrong, but right now I'm just trying to get the database to work. It works, but now the only thing is that it's outputting the query.

Here's the revised code:

<?php
<HTML>
<BODY>


$name = jim;

$db = mysql_connect(\"localhost\", \"root\", \"\");
mysql_select_db(\"news\",$db);
$query = \"SELECT * FROM users WHERE name='\".$name.\"'\";
echo $query;
$result = mysql_query($query);
if(mysql_num_rows($result)>0)
{
$the_name = mysql_result($result,0,\"name\");
$the_pass = mysql_result($result,0,\"password\");
}else{
echo \" sorry, no one home \";
}

echo \"<br>\";
echo $the_name;
echo \"<br>\";
echo $the_pass;




</BODY>
</HTML> 
?>

true, good spoting bat man,

Dragon of Ice, add this to the top of your page
<?
$db = @mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");
if (!db)
{
echo ("Unable to connect to database server");
exit();
}

if (!@mysql_select_db("???????"))
{
echo ("Unable to connect to database");
exit();
}
?>
replace the ???????? with your database table name
and remove the $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", ""); you have there now
