i have tryed that but now im getting the error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aa\selecttest.php on line 14

sounds like your php setup doesn't have mysql in there

have you looked at a phpinfo file to see if it lists mysql in it

[adamnichols45]

how do i do that?

[jatar_k]

[php.net...]

[adamnichols45]

ok mysql is not in my list o dear, how can i add this easily please?

[jatar_k]

well, take a look at this
[webmasterworld.com...]

I would say you need to make some changes to php.ini but I would read that thread first.

ok well i sorted all the problems out by installing WAMP and everythign works ok now except i get this error

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in c:\wamp\www\aa\selecttest.php on line 14
Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

i think its the password!

how do i found out my username and password?

[jatar_k]

I think the default install of mysql has no password or blank password
