I cant seem to get this code to work. It keeps giving me the error "sorry: query failed". There is connection to the database cause if i input a wrong password it will give the error "mysql connection failed". The table pet is already created and populated with data. Please I need help
<?php
$conn = mysql_connect ("localhost", "vistor", "visitor", "test")
or die ("sorry: Mysql connection failed");
$query = "select * from pet";
$result = mysql_query ($query,$conn)
or die ("sorry: query failed");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo $row['code'], " ", $row['name'];
echo "<br>";
}
mysql_close($conn);
?>
