trying to extract mysql records with php from html page.

[gregor weertman]

I'm trying to extract records with php from html page.

html:
<A HREF="extract.php">

php:
mysql_connect( "localhost", "root", "");

when I do it with the explorer the script seems to stop
after the mysql_connect command.

when I execute:
php extract.php I get my result ok.

whats the solution?

when I do it with the explorer

What's "the explorer"?

What is extract.php?

Where is extract.php in relation to the database you are trying to connect to?

Where does HTML come into this?


Do you mean that you are trying to query a MySQL database to get data with which you are going to populate an HTML page?
