Error: Can't call the database

I'm getting:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Unknown MySQL server host 'sql06freemysqlnet' (1) in /home/.lafayette/musica/musica.clavis-sama.com/ttcg/members.php on line 6

But on the file my sql host is sql06.freemysql.net.  Where did the periods go?  The original coding is:

$connection = mysql_connect(sql06.freemysql.net,daralee100,*******); 
    $db = mysql_select_db(tcglinking, $connection);

<?php

  $connection = mysql_connect('sql06.freemysql.net','daralee100','*******'); 
  $db = mysql_select_db('tcglinking', $connection);

?>

you need to use single quotes.

Should be

$mysql_connect = mysql_connect('host','username','password');

Using a string like blah.somewhere.blah without quotes, php takes those and combines them as one value, which is why you have no periods in your warning.

$sql = "SELECT username,siteurl,urlbanner FROM TABLE";

So to run that, it would be the same way?

What do you meen? That is valid php syntax. You have an sql error there though as TABLE is a reserved word.

we use quote for non variables and functions

teng... if your going to reply can you at least try and make sense. That last post says nothing.

dude how old are you you always seems mad High blood lol

what im trying to say is that all non varaibles and function are required to have a quote

am i wrong with that lol

cool thorpe cool

am i wrong with that

Indeed you are wrong with that.

The point I was making is that you often seem to poke in with a one liner that makes little sense. This doesn't help people who are trying to understand.

Now even with your further explanation of your last comment we see that you where incorrect anyway. Its easier if you don't know what your talking about to just leave your comments out.

tell me why dude cool

Alright, changing TABLE to my correct table takes away the errors, but now it's not calling the right stuff from the database...  This is the link:

http://musica.clavis-sama.com/ttcg/members.php

Basically, it's written so that in one of the table boxes it's a button that links with the info from the database I.E.:

$link = "<a href='$row[siteurl]'><img src='$row[urlbanner]'>";

Should bring up a link with the siteurl from the database as the link and the urlbanner variable as the image...  Do these need the single quote around them as well?  They're called in by:

$sql = "SELECT username,siteurl,urlbanner FROM exchange";

And used as:

echo "<table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 width=200>";
echo "<tr><td>Site Banner<td>Owner";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_BOTH)) {
    echo "<tr><td>";
    printf ("%s $td $link %s $el", $row[0], $row["username"]);

Which also should show the username in the correct area.  Comments?

Anyone have any ideas?  I won't be here to try stuff and reply until Thursday, but I would really like an answer...  Thanks!
