Hi y'all,
I'm new to PHP and found a script on about.com that is supposed to make an
address book. Doesn't work (for me) though. First thing I noticed is that
a variable ($mode) is not declared. When I do declare it, the script still
doesn't work properly.
Note: The database and table exists with 2 rows, which shows up on the
address book page, so I'm reasonably sure it's not a MySQL issue.
Please give me some clues.
Thanks.
Robert
