its obvious you cannot, because you are echoing $branch in name tag :)

sry....its name dere...but still nothing is coming in o/p.
atleast branch shoould be displayed.
n sry for the wrong code...

Its because when u cconnect to your db u set the host as Localhost maybe

can you see name=himanshu if you put echo statement outside the while loop??

finally i understood.....
the problem was with the scope of the functions.
i was not able to access the variables outside the functions...
i removed it and it works fine now :D
Thanks for your replies bhailog :D

I rewrote the code for mysql, its almost same as oracle, maybe you could learn something from it?
