Re: [PHP-DB] Trying to connext to MySQL with PEAR
Ok tried that and go this error message instead. Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client Going to MySQL site to try to figure out what this means/which other clients are available.

Re: [PHP-DB] Trying to connext to MySQL with PEAR
In my (very) limited experience with PEAR::DB, I've found that
getMessage() doesn't give very verbose error messages :).
So if I'm really having a problem, I do all 4 of these:
echo 'Standard Message: ' . $db->getMessage() . "\n";
echo 'Standard Code: ' . $db->getCode() . "\n";
echo 'DBMS/User Message: ' . $db->getUserInfo() . "\n";
echo 'DBMS/Debug Message: ' . $db->getDebugInfo() . "\n";
At least for me, this gives me a lot more useful information (DB
1.6.8, but PHP 5.0.3). Hope this helps.

Hi all I am new to PHP and am trying to connect to mysql for the first time.
I get activity on the mysql monitor when I run it, but get the following
error.
if this is your first time & your new to PHP I would suggest that you
try the mysql_*() function directly before moving to an Abstraction
class. that way you are closer to the 'problem' and you also learn the
underlying functions that the (PEAR) class(es) use.
DB Error: connect failed
The lines of code are:
require_once( "DB.php" );
$dsn = "mysql://".DB_USER.":".DB_PASS."@".DB_SERVER."/".DB_NAME;
echo $dsn;
$isPersistant = TRUE;
doesn't effect the code but 'Persistant' is spelled 'Persistent'
$db = DB::connect($dsn, $isPersistant);
if ( DB::isError( $db ) ) {
try placing the following here (here as in: in this spot in your code).
not sure if this will work - depends on exactly what goes on inside the
PEAR DB class - but I guess it will show you a more helpful error than
the class does:
print_r( mysql_error() );
die ($db->getMessage());
}
The constants are properly defined and passing through to this page (checked
with echo), the database is created, the user has an account, and the
account has rights to do all funcitons on the db. Any thoughts on what might
be wrong?
Thanks
Jason
