For a start... mysql_connect only accrpts 3 parameters.
mysql_connect("localhost","username","password");
mysql_select_db("dbname");
$result = // query here;
$r = mysql_fetch_array($result);
The value of $r is now an array. So the fields you select in your query (e.g. name, tel) can be accessed like this...
$r[name];
$r[tel];
get it?Normally, you would assign the above values to variables and then echo the variable.
But to answer your question, you only need 3 parameters to connect to the db and you didn't use the "mysql_fetch_array" function. All you did was select it. Think of it as a copy and paste. All the query does is SELECT the information (hightlight text), to extract it, you need to copy it (CTRL+C), then to paste it to a new location (your webpage) you call the values from the array like I showed you above.
If you don't understand it, send me an e-mail and I'll trey and explain a bit more.
Hope this helps you.
