Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL problem -- new to PHP
Thanks for all the help everyone sent me on this. However, nothing seems to make any difference whatsoever (except putting the 'localhost' part in quotes). I am still getting permission denied errors based on the user credentials. I have entered a user into the user table with host='localhost', user='php' and a password. I have entered these credentials into the db table also, and given the various privileges for this user to the specific database. I have run both mysqladmin reload and mysqladmin flush-privileges. I have even rebooted the machine. I have also tried typing GRANT SELECT,INSERT,DELETE,UPDATE TO php@localhost IDENTIFED BY ***, but this just throws up an error at the MySQL prompt. My PHP page can still not connect to the database. It just says: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: 'php@localhost' (Using password: YES) I know the problem is a permissions thing, because if I connect to the test database as 'nobody', there is no problem. Again, any and all help will be appreciated. This is ridiculously frustrating, especially since I have no problem connecting to the database from a perl script. I am tempted to stop trying to learn PHP and build my entire web site using perl cgi instead.

RE: [PHP-DB] MySQL problem -- new to PHP
Looks like is to do with MySQL permissions. Check your host's (the one you are trying to connect from) permissions to the server. To change permissions, from the MySQL prompt type; GRANT ALL ON * TO username@host IDENTIFIED BY password; Substitute in username, host and password for your ones. Easier to use PHPMyAdmin or SQLYog (www.sqlyog.com) if you're new to it. I'm pretty new, so learning all the time.

RE: [PHP-DB] MySQL problem -- new to PHP
PHPMyAdmin is just a web-based tool for administering MySQL and it's pretty intuitive, assuming you've used similar tools before. You can download it and read more here http://www.phpwizard.net/projects/phpMyAdmin/ I would recommend SQLYog as an alternative; http://www.webyog.com/sqlyog/index.html as it's VERY intuitive and pretty simple to use. But then you can't beat going straight into the MySQL prompt and learning from there Here are some good links for tutorials and examples; www.php.net and www.mysql.com for searching on specific functions - unless you have the memory of a few Cray computers ;o) http://www.evilwalrus.com http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/ http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/MySQL/ http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/ There are tons out there, but they are good starting points.

If you cut and pasted your code, try to put localhost into quotes as well.

Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL problem -- new to PHP
When changing/adding permissions to the mysql db for specific users, dont forget to do 'flush privileges'... my 2 cents On Thu, 2003-02-13 at 07:19, Evan Morris wrote: Hi all I am new to PHP (just basically started yesterday).
