Sorry to pawn this off on you all, but I've gone back and forth on this darned thing and can't figure this out.

I keep getting a parse error, which I assume means I have a problem in the PHP. The MySQL query works if I put it in directly in Telnet, but it gives me a parse error otherwise.

HELP! ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!

<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>Untitled</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">
<?php
$server = "localhost";
$user = "*****";
$pass = "*****";
$db = "chaco";
$connection = mysql_connect($server, $user, $pass);
$query = "SELECT * FROM trovemain WHERE (cata LIKE 'a%')";
$result = mysql_db_query($db,$query,$connection);

$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

printf("Name: ",echo $row["name"]);
printf("<br>");
echo $row["origin"];
printf("<br>");
echo $row["link"];

?>

</BODY>
</HTML>

>>> $query = "SELECT * FROM trovemain WHERE (cata LIKE 'a%')";

Why the ()? This works:'

$query = "SELECT * FROM trovemain WHERE cata LIKE 'a%'";

Your error is in this line:

printf("Name: ",echo $row["name"]);

Also, why are you using printf? You aren't issueing in formatting parameters.
