Hi at all,
I have a problem on the new.php page because when i push the submit button I have a problem on the browser so it doesn't redirect me to the page that i want and there aren't new record on the database
This is the connection of the DB
<?php
/*
CONNECT-DB.PHP

*/
// Database Variables (edit with your own server information)
$server = 'localhost';
$user = 'root';
$pass = 'password';
$db = 'test';
// Connect to Database
$connection = mysql_connect($server, $user, $pass)
or die ("Could not connect to server ... \n" . mysql_error ());
mysql_select_db($db)
or die ("Could not connect to database ... \n" . mysql_error ());
?>
