Hi All

Looks out for posts from me coming to a forum near you soon!

Hello there, i suggest if your using x10Hosting and planning on making your own website, then keep on reading or just make a simple WordPress blog with x10, so if you are gonna make a website yourself i suggest visiting http://www.websitetemplatesonline.com/ and having a look at the free website templates, it's a great way to get started! 8)

Thanks for that, I took a look and it seems really useful.

I have one question to start and i am sorry if this is in the wrong area. Also, I hav read through the other forums and couldnt find a problem or answer to it. As this assignment is due in tomorrow a speedy reply would be most welcomed.

I am trying to get my simple log in page to recognise my databse info

I have typed;
{
$connect = mysql_connect ("Localhost", "abarlow", "mypassword") or die ("Couldn't Find User");
mysql_select_db ("abarlow_footybase") or die ("Couldn't Find Database");
}

I have been copying this demo.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oSCuEtxRK8

When the guy doing the demo presses SUBMIT, his screen goes blank suggesting he has connected ok. When I click SUBMIT I just get all of my code displayed in the browser. I FEEL its the wrong host name.

Im using x10 and they host the site. There is nothing local on my machine so should I really be using local? If not, what's the x10 host name?

Many thanks

Hi,

Abarlow, try to replace "Local" for "local".

But, you can quickly create a website with a CMS (Content Management System)

Kind regards
