Look at the message (in my original post) again. It sure looks like a php message to me, but perhaps I misunderstand. Is "mysql_connect()" a php function or a libmysql function? Also, the reverence to the manual "[function.mysql-connect.chm]" is in the message (I think because I turned on the option for it); is that a reference to the php documentation or MySQL documentation? If it is a libmysql message, then it is not clear to me that it is. How am I supposed to know that? > I hope you have > read the appendix of the mysql manual where it is stated that users may > have > problem connecting to mysql over tcp/ip under windows if they have enabled > firewall software like ZoneAlarm or Windows Personal Firewall. If you mean the "MySQL Manual | A.2.2 Can't connect to [local] MySQL server" page, then it is misleading; see my other reply about it. And again, many people are having this problem. A small hint in the (or a) php message and in the php documentation will likely help many people. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
