<html>

<?php
$srv=$GET['srv']; $usr=$GET['usr']; $pass=$GET['pass']; $db=$GET['db']; $tab=$_GET['tab'];
$link = mysql_connect($srv, $usr, $pass) or die("Error: ".mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($db , $link) or die("Error: ".mysql_error());
echo "Successfully connected.\n";
mysql_close($link);
<body onLoad="window.status='Action connected.';return true"> </body>
?>

</html>

How come something so simple as displaying a message in the status window wont work for me, if the rest of the php script is carried out sussfully? HELP!

Shouldn't it be :

<html> 

<?php 
$srv=$_GET['srv']; $usr=$_GET['usr']; $pass=$_GET['pass']; $db=$_GET['db']; $tab=$_GET['tab']; 
$link = mysql_connect($srv, $usr, $pass) or die("Error: ".mysql_error()); 
mysql_select_db($db , $link) or die("Error: ".mysql_error()); 
echo "Successfully connected.\n"; 
mysql_close($link); 
?>
<body onLoad="window.status='Action connected.';return true"> </body> 


</html>

???

(You can't put HTML code inside PHP code... you must close PHP code before putting HTML code...)

Or:

use the print function to print it within the php block.

suntra, that great it works now thnaks for that!

masood or any1 else, when you say use the print function to print it within the php block could i print some text to the form through a $var and end the php code then get html code after the php 2 access the $var and print it to the window.status?

i.e
<?php
if ($blah = 1) {
$var = "Successfully connected."
else
$var = "Errro in connection."
}
print $var
?>
<body onLoad="window.status=$var ;return true"> </body>

masood

You should be able to do the following with no problem:

<?php
$var="some text or value";
print "<H1>sometext and then my value $var</H1>"
?>

If Wrapped in double quotes and fed to the print function, $var is evaluated first and then the whole thing is printed. So if I understand your question, then the answer is yes.
