Windows XP Firewall, or any other firewall for that matter must be off. Jason
Can someone else confirm that this is correct?
It's not correct.
For one thing, when I use MySQL directly outside of a web page, it works. The sample C program works.
For another thing, I doubt very immensely that everyone using mysql_connect does not use a firewall. Even if anyone else does, I will not. It would have been quite unreasonable for the developers of PHP to develop software with that requirement, but I doubt it was.
I don't know anything about WindowsXP or it's 'firewall', but you _may_ have to open the port for which you have MySQL running on. I haven't followed this thread, but if MySQL, and your php enabled webserver are on the same box, then your firewall doesn't come into play.
