USE tucoraco_tucora;

$result = mysql_query('SHOW COLUMNS FROM users');
if (!$result) {
die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}



mysql_close($link);



line 8 is the """USE tucoraco_tucora;""" line by the way


this is my error......Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING or '(' in /home/tucoraco/public_html/connect.php on line 8

 

try this:


$result = mysql_query('SHOW COLUMNS FROM users') or die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
