Hi
Check the database name is exactly the same case as you are using - not
Soverign rather soverign for example.
After that try the raw php functions for connecting to the database
?php
//require_once 'DB.php';
$user = 'jbyrne';
$pass = '';
$host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'sovereign';
if($dsn = mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass)) echo 'connected ok' ;
else echo 'Failed to connect to database'.mysql_error( $dsn) ;
if(mysql_select_db($db_name, $dsn )) echo 'selected db ok';
else echo 'Failed to select to database'.mysql_error( $dsn) ;
?
This will give the Mysql error messages which should give you more
information
HTH, if not comeback to me

Subject: [PHP-DB] mysql connect error
Hi,
I've just started playing with Linux/MySQL/PHP - I come from a
Windows/ASP/PowerBuilder background.
I have created a database in MySQL and now are trying to connect to it via
PHP. I keep getting the same error, no matter what I specify in DSN. I
always get:
DB Error: no such database
The following is the PHP code I am using:
?php
require_once 'DB.php';
$user = 'jbyrne';
$pass = '';
$host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'sovereign';
$dsn = mysql://$user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/$db_name;
$db = DB::connect($dsn);
if (DB::isError($db)) {
die ($db-getMessage());
}
$db-disconnect();
?
This is straight out of the PHP documentation.
Any ideas why I get the same error all the time.
I am using RedHat 8.0, PHP 4.2.2, MySQL 3.2.53, Apache 2.0
thanks
