two errors are occuring when i compile 1)mysql_query(): 3 is not a valid MySQL-Link resource 2)Could not update data: Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database error
All i want do is to update database in which I newly added a column called Fine . the entire fine column is zero initially, the rest of the columns in ilist table are filled earlier from php and html form. Do I need to add a textbox for fine also in form? but i am not going to enter anything from form into fine textbox.
</div>
when i compile
PHP is interpreted
Could not update data: Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database error
Self-explanatory. Invalid MySQL details. Check those with the MySQL Config
