@skywalker2208Jun 07.2007 — I am not sure if you can use the or like that. I am not 100% about that though.

You could try using something like this which is directly off of the w3schools.com web site.
[code=php]
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","peter","abc123");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}


mysql_close($con);
?>
[/code]
