[gasolincho]

Hello folks,

I have a problem with my scripts for TOP Players. When i try to make a PHP Script for TOP 10 player order by Gold, XP or something else just don't work, i cant make result only blank page, i don't know where is the problem.

Here is my script:

<?php
$db_host='localhost';
$db_database='logon';
$db_username='****';
$db_password='****';

$connection = @mysql_connect($db_host, $db_username, $db_password);
$db_select = @mysql_select_db($db_database);

$query = "SELECT guid, name FROM characters DESC LIMIT 10";
$i='1';
$gasolincho = @mysql_query($query);
echo '<table width=200>';
while($steff = (($gasolincho)))
{
  echo '<tr><td>'. $i .'.</td><td>'. $steff["name"] .'</td></tr>';
  $i++;
}

echo '</table>';
?>
