Kevin Yank; PHP & MYSQL: Novice to Ninja

Chapter 6 page 168; I have coded the “jokes” application but when I try to run it I get an error message:
“Error fetching joke: SQLSTATE[3D000]: Invalid catalog name: 1046 No database selected”, which seems to be associated with the “include ‘db.inc.php’;” line. Any ideas why?

OK I’ve discovered what I was doing wrong; the usual hang- up with spaces! dbname=ijdb works, but dbname = ijdb doesn’t. What a waste of time.

That’s often the case when you’re learning things (or even when you’re experienced) - the silly little things are what hold you up, not the big complicated ones!
