Question

I have shared hosting with two different hosting providers.

I have the smallest DB query ever (no stress)

all I do is simply echo out some info from a table, nothing crazy:

$loop_query = "SELECT * FROM my_table";

$sl = mysql_query($loop_query, $db_connect);

while ($db = mysql_fetch_array($sl)){

echo $db['name'], $db["age"];}

Now I test this on Server A, everything works fine.

But on Server B, it fails.

I either get a blank page or i get a browser error: connection closed by remote server.

Now I have a few other pages on server B which involve DB queries, and they work fine.

I’m completely lost.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Things to check:

1. Stray weird characters in your file on the server that’s not working. I’ve seen this happen before, and it’s hard to debug.

2. Check your shared host’s error log file – should be available in the cpanel.

3. Check for error logs in the web site folder (or immediately above it).

4. put an echo after the mysql_query function call, and before the while loop. Try using an echo mysql_error to see if there are any errors.

If you find things in log files, please come back and update your question.
