Re: [PHP] mysql_connect noob question
Completely different function call(). mysql_connect() - the port is part of the host. *server* The MySQL server. It can also include a port number. e.g. hostname:port or a path to a local socket e.g. :/path/to/socket for the localhost. If the PHP directive mysql.default_hostitss://chm/res/mysql.configuration.html#ini.mysql.default-hostis undefined (default), then the default value is 'localhost:3306'. In SQL safe mode itss://chm/res/ini.core.html#ini.sql.safe-mode, this parameter is ignored and value 'localhost:3306' is always used. mysqli_connect() - the port is a parameter. I think you got the answers to the question you asked.

As has been pointed out to you - your simplistic approach to this task is going to cost you big-time down the road. When (and it will) the credentials to your mysql database get out and somebody(!) misuses them, you will be the one called to answer on this security breach. The last creds that you give out in an application are the keys to the kingdom. Your usage of the db access values should be confined to a script snippet that does the connecting for all scripts that seek data from the database. This snippet is included in those scripts from a folder that is outside of your webroot. Users have their own credentials that, once accepted, allow the user to make their requests. This is just such basic security practice, why can you not see it and accept the advice you are being given? As for why your connect statement doesn't work, that is truly a problem. I certainly don't know as much as the people on this group who have been trying to help you, but I know enough to listen to them and I know the basics of best security practices. You have spent two days trying to get answers to a question that shouldn't be answered. That's a slice of development time wasted. You need to backup, rework your db access and then simply change your current authentication script to use an ordinary user id and pswd that steers the users to a script that helps them access their data views without revealing to them the connect values. And personally, I think PHP is the best thing I've ever taken up since my first Univac assembler course back in 1971. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If you are checking someone's credentials to access your site, such as a user, then giving them the keys to the kingdom is a bit of an overkill. My advice, set up user_id and password fields in a user table for users you want to access some portion of your site, here's the code to do that: http://sperling.com/php/authorization/log-on.php Where I have said // define your user id here is the place to actually open your database and access your user table to gather the correct user_id and password. I also suggest that when you open the database you only use literals from a config.php file ($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass) for accessing the actual database and then check the user_id and password before giving them authorization to private areas. Keep the private stuff private!

Re: [PHP] mysql_connect noob question
One other thing I noted in the FAQ was this: Dots in incoming variable names Typically, PHP does not alter the names of variables when they are passed into a script. However, it should be noted that the dot (period, full stop) is not a valid character in a PHP variable name. For the reason, look at it: ?php$varname.ext; /* invalid variable name */ ? Now, what the parser sees is a variable named $varname, followed by the string concatenation operator, followed by the barestring (i.e. unquoted string which doesn't match any known key or reserved words) 'ext'. Obviously, this doesn't have the intended result. For this reason, it is important to note that PHP will automatically replace any dots in incoming variable names with underscores. I should note my user name in this case *is* an email address, however the dots in that address are *not* being converted to underscores as mentioned (at least not visibly).

SUCCESS!
However.
if ( $_REQUEST['Submit'] ) {
makes it work (using my own form button ID).
Why it doesn't work without this on my machine is beyond me. But it doesn't.
Could it be somehow there is something about accessing the $_REQUEST that
changes something?
I am baffled as to the cause, but anyway it does work now.
Thanks for your help.

Re: [PHP] mysql_connect noob question
Even more strange:
It doesn't work from the form with or without the domain (but on the
command line it does), but..
IF I add the $_REQUEST access *and* use the user that the *MySQL*
install has, and *not* the xeround user name (my email), then it *does*
work!
WEIRD.

After all this, the OP remains unenlightened. This is just a waste of time. You are doing this wrong. There are existing tools that do what your client wants. A command line tool is not the same as the php library. are all met with I don't want to learn, just tell me what isn't working. Too bad.
Re: [PHP] mysql_connect noob question
No, that's for writing safe html output.
If the user or password contains special chars, sending them through
htmlspecialchars would turn them into html entities. i doubt you want that.
I'm at a loss here. The only thing Ican think of is to try something like
this at the top of the script:
?php
error_reporting(-1);
ini_set('display_errors',1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);
header(Content-type: text/plain);
var_dump($_POST);
exit;
?
and see precisely what is being passed in from your form.

First guess is that you don't have privileges for
'user'@'ip70-162-142-180.ph.ph.cox.net', but you may have privileges
for
'user'.
And, what are you using for the $host value? If the script and mysql
are on
the same server, it shouldn't need to be anything other than
'localhost'.
Do your user or password contain spaces, thereby requiring quotes in
your call?

Re: [PHP] mysql_connect noob question
Thanks for that good suggestion.
I tried that and as expected, the passed variables are coming through
exactly as expected:
array(3) {
[user]=
string(3) joe
[password]=
string(11) complacency
[login]=
string(5) Login
}
The bottom one seems to be the submit button's tag.
I'm at a loss too. It should work. Replacing all 3 script variables with
hard-coded values for the login works fine - so I know the host string
is fine.
Very weird!

Re: [PHP] mysql_connect noob question
Nope, quotes are not visible in the output.
Both the HTML and the script it calls are shown below. They are in 2
separate files. The variable names in both are user and password.
The data comes through to the PHP script fine - if I print them I see
exactly what I typed in the form, but when I pass them to my DB host on
another server via mysql_connect it give me an error.

You would see the quotes if they were there in the output. There's no
reason why it should not work this way, though I doubt it's safe to do. Can
you show us the rest of the code, including the HTML form?
And exactly what error are you getting? (eg. from mysql_error())

Thanks, Waynn Hi Waynn, I've done some tuning on MySQL last year after having similar problems. They are not all gone, but they are reduced to a minimum. I've read the following URL's to get some hints and tips: www dot databasejournal dot com/features/mysql/print.php/10897_1402311_3 www dot t-scripts dot com/mysql/ mysqldatabaseadministration dot blogspot dot com/2005/11/mysql-5-optimization-and-tuning-guide.html (I'm sorry that these URL's are not allowed due to SURBL policies, replace 'dot' with the appropiate character) It boils down to tuning your my.cnf with some altered parameters and checking the status in MySQL. It depends on how much memory is in use, how many tables you want to have open and how many connection you expect within certain periods etc. You can gain a lot with doing this. Having sleeping processes / connections is because it doesn't have a hard timeout and MySQL sometimes forgets to kill these processes. But this is because of the load. When the load decreases, MySQL is better being able to keep up with the processes. -- Aschwin Wesselius 'What you would like to be done to you, do that to the other' -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Are you using mysql_pconnect or just mysql_connect? Persistent connections do what you outline and keep the connection sitting there. For this (and some other reasons) most people don't use persistent connections.

[PHP] mysql_connect
Hello, I have a strange bug I can't figure out. I am trying to use a third party library and it is throwing errors: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_pconnect() This doesn't make sense to me as I have other code on that box that uses mysql_pconnect() with no problem. Why would some code be able to use it while other code can't? Thank! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
