Aside from the complete mess throughout the middle of the chapter(which I debugged in 8 hours) I can't get the movie details to display anything. I would think if there was a connection problem there would be an error message. I used to code from the wrox site. It displays the table and headings but none of the information shows up. Since it's about 4 pages of code, I don't have the time to debug all of that. Especially since I am a BEGINNER.

The problem once again is: I can open table 3 just fine, but when I click on the movies no data shows up. I uploaded movie_details rev5 so everything should be ready to go.

My overall opinion of the book: A complete mess!!

Mikezile,

I'm a beginner, too. So, it's not certain as to whether I could find your problem even if I could see your code. One thing is for certain, no one will be able to help unless they can see your code.

On top of that, I'm not sure, but I don't think anyone wants to see three pages of code looking for your problem.

I'm sure your as frustrated as I am when you spend time typing the code from the book, if that's what your doing, and then getting nothing to work after several hours of trying to troubleshoot it. Here's a suggestion that has worked, a bit, for me.

I go into my faulty code and start commenting blocks of code out until I get a page to display in my browser. Sometimes I have to substitute an echo of "OK," "True" or "False"... or, possibly, a "$variable" that I suspect isn't being passed. But whatever, once I get something to display, I start adding snippets of code back into the page until I find the problem area.

If you try that, then you can submit just that part of your code.
Of course, you'll still be stuck hoping that someone will respond with a solution.
