Hi,

whats this?
You close the brackets but you don't open them?

try this:
$db=mysql_pconnect('localhost', 'root', '');

So long

Thanks ... that was a little cut N paste error. I had other errors in my php script. All good now. I was ent sure about the DB access syntax for XAMPP.

Thanks again for your quick reply.

XAMPP is very cool !!!
