  5.     $Hostname = "localhost";
  6.     $MySQLConnection = mysql_connect($Hostname, $Username, $Password) 
  7.         or die("Unable to connect to MySQL Database!!");
  8.     $MySQLSelectedDB = mysql_select_db($Database, $MySQLConnection) 
  9.         or die("Could not Set the Database!!");
  10.     $MySQLRecordSet = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM sample_table");
  11.     print "First Name  -  " . "Middle Name  -  " . 
  12.         "Last Name<br>";
  13.     while ($MyRow = mysql_fetch_array($MySQLRecordSet, MYSQL_ASSOC))

do you get any error messages? if not try something like that, this should give you any SQL error messages.
