Great !!!
Your tutorials are great

If your DataBase isn't called "Tutorial" put this code:
<?php

$db = mysql_connect("localhost","root","") or die("Could not connect to db");
if(!$db)
die("no db");
if(!mysql_select_db("YOUR DATABASE NAME HERE",$db))
die("No Database Selected");

?>

The address your're going to,does not exist http://localhost/tutorial.test.php....it should probably be http://localhost/tutorial/test.php

[Slav2]

yea just tried that and it didnt work.

[alexander19]

As long as the test.php script is inside the tutorial folder and you're reaching it correctly,I cant really guess what the problem could be.

[Jackolantern]

Yes, you need to recheck your folder structure and make sure your links are equal to your folder and file structure. Are you sure you saved the file when you changed the period to a slash? That error means the WAMP server is not finding the file you are linking to. It is not an error in the PHP code itself.

[Slav2]

Hmmm I'm going to double check everything tomorrow but I think I had everything setup perfectly.

man this is annoying....ive tried doing this already so many times and i just cant get the local host thing to work. same error everytime.
