[Err]

It would help to give us some helpful information like what exact error message you are getting and what you're trying to achieve.At any rate. To cover some basics, please read through this:http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_intro.aspWhen debugging PHP put this at the beginning of your PHP script. This will display all errors you're having.

  error_reporting(E_ALL);  ini_set('display_errors', 1);
