novice implies ignorance and not stupidity. while there is nothing wrong
with the former, the latter i find is hard to excuse.

i bet if you were to google "php odbc error help", you'd find your answer.
or if you went to php.net and searched for "odbc error", you'd likewise come
up with odbc_error() and odbc_errormsg()

searching for and finding help is a methodology employed by anyone with a
problem. as we all have them, none are novices. asking for help with novice
questions when the answer(s) are so pervasive, prevelent, and otherwise
readily available is...well...stupid. what's worse is doing so and then
being smug at the same time...eh! but, perhaps i just mis-read your tone in
this media.
