i figured out why i couldn't get any data...

i use this adodb code to connect to my db...

$db->Connect($db_string,$db_owner,$db_pw,$db_name);

if $db_string has a value, it won't connect. it i
don't give it a value, it connects.

eg, if i define $db_string = 'localhost' or
'quality.mydomain.com, the code won't connect.

is this expected behavior?
