Question

mysql_select_db('fireworks', $conn);

$ask = "SELECT * FROM name";
$result = mysql_query($ask, $conn) or die();
while ($info = mysql_fetch_assoc($result));
{
    var_dump($info);
    if (is_array($result)) {
        foreach ($info as $group) {
            print $group;
        } //end foreach
    } else {
        print "fail..";
    }//end debug
} //end while

I checked with phpmyadmin and the database fireworks CLEARLY has a table named ‘name’ in it. When I use var_dump it shows bool(false). I heard that mysql_fetch_assoc is suppose to return false only if there is no more values left to print?

Edit: Sorry I should have included the full code:

$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "root") or die(mysql_error());
if ($conn)
{
    print "<h1>CONNECTED!!!!</h1>";
}//end conn

Yes, I have information listed in the table, I checked the name of everything:

ID  firstName lastName
1   uraz      The pig
2   Billy     Henson
3   Jean      Jerk
4   Fat       Jerk

Your code has a logical syntax error:

while ($info = mysql_fetch_assoc($result));

Currently this causes it to loop through all the rows, and when it’s done you’re left with the last value (false).

You should have:

while ($info = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
