Hey guys. I've come into another problem, and now this time, I can't see anything. I tried the die(mysql_error()); function, but nothing happened. I ran through looking for errors and nothing. So here if my code if you wanna try and if you want to see it for yourself heres my site: Zirber Just sign up or something. But my code also:


view_conversation.page.inc.php
<?php

$errors = array();

$valid_conversation = (isset($_GET['conversation_id']) && validate_conversation_id($_GET['conversation_id']));

if ($valid_conversation === false){
	$errors[] = 'Invalid conversation ID.';
}

if (empty($errors) === false){
	foreach ($errors as $error){
		echo '<div class="msg_error">', $error, '</div>';
	}
}

if ($valid_conversation){
	$messages = fetch_conversation_messages($_GET['conversation_id']);
	
	?>
	<div class="actions">
		<a href="index.php?page=inbox">Inbox</a>
		<a href="index.php?page=logout">Logout</a>
	</div>

	<div class="messages">
		<?php
		
		foreach ($messages as $message){
			?>
			<div class="message <?php if ($message['unread']) echo 'unread'; ?>">
				<p class="name"><?php echo $message['user_name']; ?> (<?php echo date('d/m/Y H:i:s', $message['date']); ?>)</p>
				<p class="text"><?php echo $message['text']; ?></p>
			</div>
			<?php
		}
		
		?>
	</div>
	<?php
}

private_message.inc.php
<?php

// Fetches a summary of the conversations
function fetch_conversation_summary(){
	$sql = "SELECT

die() kills the script, preventing it from running any more code. Change die() to echo.

So, what is it that you're not able to see? Is the page white-blank or is it just certain parts that are missing?

I can't see the mail part, as in the Subject area and time and such in view_conversation.page.php. I can see the links like Inbox and Logout at the top though.

$sql = "INSERT INTO `conversations_messages` (`conversations_id`, `user_id`, `message_date`, `message_text`)

conversations_id


to
conversation_id

That kind of stuff is interchangeable, for example some people may call their database 'test'.
Others may call it 'private_messages'.

It really depends on how closely you want to follow tutorials :)

I generally would use the tutorials as a starting point, I don't think I have ever copied any one of them word-for-word.
