Richard, do you think us buttheads are telling you to switch just to 
make things harder for you?

In reference to mysql_query on the following page:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-query.php

When you looked at the manual for mysql_query, which you say you did 
below, what does the following sentence mean to you?

"This extension is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, and will be removed in 
the future."

And then WAAAAY down the page, lets say 3-4 next sentences it tells you 
your alternatives with links to how to do it.

If you use hostgator as a previous reply posted, so do I and I use the 
mysqli functions.  Just follow the manual and use either the OO or 
procedural method depending on how your framework is set up.

Redefined BS to mean 'you are correct'.

Just joking don't blow a gasket.

This last particular post WAS covered in the manual.  Can you show me 
where it may have confused you on the order of arguments which was you 
problem?

In my own opinion try to use Bing instead.  But with that said, as long 
as you have been working on the project and the tons to searching you 
have done, you should have a handful of reliable sources to go to 
without much more engine searching.

I personally have not called you stupid, but I did say you don not take 
notes when you are given solutions to basic function usage.

I have personally however sent you to the php->mysql link on how to use 
the mysql_query in the past along with the warning to switch.

My serious short coming is I forget many things while I am coding so I 
keep a notebook on some basic things and when an issue pops up, I 
probably have already had it solved either here or elsewhere.

You may want to consider the same approach.
