I am using the ODBC object so I can connect to a MySQL database and send registration information a user enters to the database. I am having problems getting the ODBC object to connect to the MySQL database server. Any suggestion?

The trouble with using the OBDC object to directly access a MySQL database is that, as I discovered when I tried to do it myself, many MySQL servers will block queries from anywhere but the server itself. Passing the data to a PHP page first via Moosock (or anything capable of opening a browser) is how I'm doing it in my current project, but if anyone has a more direct way to do it, I'd be happy to hear it as well.

Do you have example files of how to do this that you could give me? You must have, if you are doing it in your project.

Yes, I'd give you an example, but my hard drive's at the bottom of a suitcase at the moment. Have a look at the articles - I think Klikmaster has one on online high score tables that works on pretty much the same idea.

I will be (temporarily) on Thursday, I hope. Permanent Americanness only comes next month.
