Question

I’m still relatively new to php.

I created a sub folder below my webroot called lib and added test.php

I then added the following code…

<?php
new \Wisdom\Question();
?>

I then created another folder within lib called “Wisdom” and a class called “Question” with the following code…

<?php

class Question {

function __construct()
{
    $user="username";
    $password="password";
    $database="dbname";
    mysql_connect(localhost,$user,$password);
    @mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
    $query = "SELECT * FROM questions";
    $result = mysql_query($query);
    $num = mysql_numrows($result);
    mysql_close();
    echo "<b><center>Database Output</center></b><br><br>";

    $i=0;

    while($i < $num)
    {
        $description = \mysql_result($result,$i, "description");
        $id = \mysql_result($result,$i, "id");
        echo "<b>$id $description</b>";
        $i++;
    }

}

}

When I view the test.php in a browser, it just shows an error 500 (on another note, how do I show php errors on screen? I tried ERROR_REPORTING(E_ALL) but it didn’t do anything. But it never shows any of the echos during the db connect. My db has all the fields as expected. Any ideas? Thank you!

A ha, just found out the php version is 5.2 so won’t have namespaces.

Thanks for all the other answers.
