Re: Server to Server Connection
Thomas Deliduka unknowingly asked us: and then it ran the mysql_select_db which selected the wrong table. Please re-read, re-phrase. I have an uncomfortable feeling when people use the wrong function for the wrong purpose. I'm an idiot, I should have looked for this before. Think to think more. I recoded it to use my DB API that I created and it works perfectly now. I wasted 4 hours on that. I kept saying to myself, It's something simple you're not looking at. and there it was. Perfect.

Server to Server Connection
I have written this to the PHP-DB list and couldn't get any answers. I have gone through all the documentation I could find. I have been everywhere and cannot find an answer to this problem! Perhaps someone on this list can lend me some insight?! I think, at heart, the problem is with MySQL permissions or some way 4.0 handles connections across a network, however I just cannot figure it out. I'm using PHP 4.3.2+MySQL 4.0.14 on server 1 Server 1, however, is connecting to Server 2 which has MySQL 4.0.12 I have permissions on the 4.0.12 server setup like: user: localhostuser1 all main privs are 'N' except for File_priv 192.168.1.% user1 all main privs are 'N' except for File_priv (internal SAN). db: %user11 my_database all main privs set to Y (select, insert,update, delete, create, drop, references, index, alter) If I use the command-line interface from server 1 to server 2 it works perfectly fine. I'm using PHP connection to do code like: $conn = mysql_connect(192.168.1.2,user1,pass); mysql_select_db(my_database,$conn); mysql_select_db returns true. My queries are like: mysql_query($sql,$conn); So I'm using the proper connection. The webpage mysql_error outputs select command denied to user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' for table 'table_name' For every table. And I wonder what the heck is this for because the select priv is on for that table in the 'db' table. So, what I did was change the 'user' table with select_priv to Y which basically make this user a super-user for every table. After doing this I get these errors: Table 'another_database.table_name' doesn't exist. I didn't select another_database as my table! I selected my_database as my table! Why the heck is it selecting the wrong table?! So, I added a ton of bebugging code. I confirmed that just before calling mysql_select_db() I had the right table in the variable. I confirmed I'm only making one database connection, not two. I confirmed that this user has no permissions for another_database with that user/pass. I confirmed the same Reference ID for $conn. Is being used in every case. I know the reason I'm getting the initial select command denied error is because it's still selecting another_database for the table and I don't have permissions for that unless I add it for super-user like I did. A work around (which will not work once I get this site in production) is to do a search/replace on the SQL strings and add my_database. to every database table. Once the SQL command becomes select xxx from my_database.table_name it works fine but this is not what I can do in the end. What the heck could be the problem?! Why doesn't PHP select the right table?! This problem happens with persistant or non-persistant connections.

perfectly fine. This same EXACT code works perfectly with the site that is
on server 2 (i.e. connecting via localhost NOT server to server).

Re: Server to Server Connection
Your PHP code for the server 1 is not the same with the code for the server
2 or the names of the tables from MySQL server 1 are not the same with the
value of your PHP queries.
Put the first PHP not-working query in the command-line for server 1 and see
if it works.
Put here the PHP code for the first not-working query.
Add, also, the real names of the MySQL tables used in your lines.

Re: Server to Server Connection
Oh, I see now! When you gave the command mysql ... my_database, at the moment of the MySQL shell, you have the database my_database already selected. So all of your queries works fine because you are in the right database. In the PHP or other environment, you need to select the database after connecting and before query.So follow the order: 1. connection with $conn = @mysql_connect($dh,$du,$dp); 2. selecting the database with mysql_select_db(my_database,$conn); 3. performing query $result=db_query($sql); If you get an error in this step, it's not a PHP/Web matter. If all works fine, you can use : mysql_select_db($db,$conn); in place of mysql_select_db(my_database,$conn); If you get an error in the last step, the value of $db is wrong, so check the webpage which sends the value to $db.

Re: Server to Server Connection
Right, however, I am following the progression of 1,2,3. My code I pasted here showed that the connection function did the connect and select in the same function and in my debugging I did confirm that $db does equal my_database. I have also manually typed it in and it still doesn't work. It's as if the PHP mysql_select_db function simply doesn't want to select the right table. However it does fine when connecting to the Mysql 3.23 server. On 8/18/03 12:03 PM this was written: Oh, I see now! When you gave the command mysql ... my_database, at the moment of the MySQL shell, you have the database my_database already selected. So all of your queries works fine because you are in the right database.

What you are saying is very unclear to the rest of us. Nextly, your statement: It's as if the PHP mysql_select_db function simply doesn't want to select the right table. Note, that PHP's mysql_select_db DOES NOT select a table. It selects a DB. The first thing to do to your script is this: 1. Strip ALL @ symbols before functions. Its a wreckless havoc. 2. Secondly, do not put blame on PHP's mysql_select_db function as there about 5000 people using that function successfully. 3. Thirdly, _completely) clear up your file, and start fresh, with just necessary lines of code. Remove all unnecessary IF conditions, for the time being. Something like this: ?php $host = your_host; $username = your_username; $pass = your_pass; $database = your_database; $connection = mysql_connect ($host,$username,$pass); $select = mysql_select_db ($database); $result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM table_name); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) print_r ($row); if (!$connection || !$select || !$result) echo mysql_error(); ? Run, this beautiful code, and see if you get any output at all. If not, check if spellings are correct. If you do not get any error messages, set the error_reporting value to 'all' using PHP's ini_set() or the error_reporting() function. If you still don't get any errors, and if your query doesn't work, take a coffee break, and come back next day. Still doesn't work, punch your monitor hard, because you need HELP. -- Think to think more, work to work more. __ Meet the guy at http://www.meetRajesh.com/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sorry Nextly, your statement: It's as if the PHP mysql_select_db function simply doesn't want to select the right table. Note, that PHP's mysql_select_db DOES NOT select a table. It selects a DB. You're right. I mis-typed and didn't re-read. The first thing to do to your script is this: 1. Strip ALL @ symbols before functions. Its a wreckless havoc. My application works locally when going off of the same machine that the server is working on. The @ symbols are there because the application is an in-production application that has been used for over a year. I make sure my clients (about 6 right now) don't get error messages when they're using the site. Instead, I get e-mails when there are errors trapped. Yes, for debugging it's good to remove them and I did. 2. Secondly, do not put blame on PHP's mysql_select_db function as there about 5000 people using that function successfully. I'm not completely blaming it. However, it is working fine when the database and the web server is on the same server but the SAME EXACT CODE is not working when the web server is another server separate from the database. Mysql_select_db is telling me it's choosing the proper database but in the end the query is run and that database isn't the one chosen. I need to find out why. 3. Thirdly, _completely) clear up your file, and start fresh, with just necessary lines of code. Remove all unnecessary IF conditions, for the time being. Something like this: Thank you for the code, when I did that (which I should have done, you're right) it worked fine. So, now I gotta find out where this is going wrong and why the same code is working in one place but not the other. While my connection function is only run once (due to my debug code I know this) however somewhere the mysql_select_db function is being called again so I just gotta find out where. I won't bother you all again. If anyone wants to know how I fix this when I eventually do, write me personally.

As you are using functions to do work for you, it is possible that certain functions are not being made available the required variables. Also KIM that the resources returned by mysql_connect() and mysql_select_db() are by default global. (Unless otherwise configured, or older version). Thus the output from these functions don't need to be returned. I wouldn't mind if you would email me personally with your script file. Usually 4 eyes work better than 2 un-trained eyes. If your script includes other files, it will do some good to send those in too. (Preferably with some compression). -- Think to think more, work to work more. __ Meet the guy at http://www.meetRajesh.com/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
