Re: What the heck?

By the way, you saw that in your second post, you connect to "locahost" instead of "localhost"?

My PHP manual says:

For SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE or EXPLAIN statements, mysql_query() returns a resource on success, and FALSE on error.

so, maybe you should not check

== 0

but

=== FALSE (yep, three times =)

to see of mysql_query() returns successfully.

As for any other ideas, when going by the manual, it seems allright, but i never do it this way, i always pass resources explicitly. Try it, see if it changes anything at all when you pass the connection resource explicitly to mysql_query.
