[thelist] mySQL and PHP troubles

[travis forden]

it was the database name. Turns out it was not recognizing the db switch in the function db_connect(). It raised doubts in my mind, but I wasn't sure if I should take it out. Anyway, the problem is now fixed and I have a better idea how to connect to DBs.

Thanks, Anthony.
