I'm relatively new to the database world, so please excuse me for a simple question...
I have a MySQL database set up on my web server, and a php script to search the database. It outputs everything perfectly. When I try to run it locally, my results page only shows the variables that were defined, not the info from the database. It looks like this...
Name: $lname, $fname $mi
...instead of...
Name: Public, John Q
like it does when I run it online.
I have tried it running WAMPServer and xampp, but I get the same results either way. Can someone please tell me what I'm missing?
