Nothing happens when updating a MySQL database

Hi All,

 

Whenever I try to update any piece of PHP code to update a MySQL database, nothing happens. I have tried copying in some of the working codes of a website and tried the same, but no success.

 

I recently installed XAMPP. I am connecting using the correct user id and pass to the database. The scripts are not giving me any error, but just not connecting, that's all.

 

While making such a usage as noted below

 

<FORM name="form1" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" >

 

 

I get the following error

 

Firefox can't find the file at /C:/xampp/htdocs/="<?php..  so on

 

Why does this happen?

 

I am pretty new to this, so please do help.

 

Thanks,

Satheesh P R

a) the page must be a .php file to process the php script

b) action="" is another method of posting a form to itself, give that a whirl.

c) test your mysql_query in your database manager first, then put the working code in your script.

 

Post back results.
