Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-L

[Anon]

Please help!
What does this mean.

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in C:\apache\htdocs\khs\php_upload.php on line 26

Here is line 26

mysql_select_db("$kenston",$joesauto);

Hi,
The error you got says that either "database name" or "connection id" is not a valid one.
It seems the database name is invalid.You should supply database name as a string or variable if you supply it as "$kenston" it treats $kenston as a string not as a variable which holds the value.So,it should be
mysql_select_db($kenston,$joesauto);

Hope this works

Cheers

Ummm... the warning mesage states "MySQL-Link resource", ergo it has nothing to do with the database name.

mysql_select_db() accepts 2 arguments. The first is the name of the database. The second is the MySQL link identifer returned by either mysql_connect() or mysql_pconnect() and is optional. If it's not specified, PHP will try to use any available and open MySQL link. Either drop the $joesauto variable from the argument list or try this:

$joesauto = mysql_connect($your_hostname, $your_username, $your_password) or die("Unable to connect to MySQL on $your_hostname");

mysql_select_db($kenston,$joesauto) or die("Unable to select database $kenston");

HTH!
