RE: [PHP-DB] Problem connecting to db on Linux
so, you probably have something like, right? If not, change your code to:
$query = "SELECT DISTINCT Nickname, HEI_ID FROM customers WHERE Nickname <>
ORDER BY Nickname";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die("error: ".mysql_error());
show us your code.
I ask, because you appear to have an extra " in fron of ORDER BY

Rick,
Sorry, here it is:

I have 'echo mysql_errno();' just after the query is called but no number is

RE: [PHP-DB] Problem connecting to db on Linux
Do you have your error messages crossed? I ask, because I would think your
"cannot select" message would go with your mysql_select_db() and your
"cannot connect" would go with your mysql_connect()

Rick,
I snipped the code from my windoze system. I did have to change the case of
the dbname to reflect the Linux version (all lc).
The error message I got (not displayed on screen but visible on 'view

RE: [PHP-DB] Problem connecting to db on Linux
Have you spelled the name of the database correctly, including case
sensitivity?
What error message are you getting to indicate failure?

Greg, et al,
This is the contents of the include file:
I have also tried it with the following:
";
mysql_select_db ('Heronsql');
echo mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()."";
?>
Te results for this were:
0:0
0:0
I have reinstalled my Mandrake (MySQL/PHP4.0.6/Apache) and I am about to
retest so I'll report back soon.

Well, if you had posted some code, someone might have seen the error... :(
Anyway, here is how i do it:
if($db = mysql_pconnect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpasswd)){
mysql_select_db($dbname, $db);
} else {
echo mysql_error();
exit;
}

Re: [PHP-DB] Problem connecting to db on Linux
Hey, I didn't have to do any special configuring. All I did was setup the root password, login via the mysql console client and create my databases, then use mysql_connect() and mysql_select_db() like you said. What have you done other than just installing it? -- - Dave On February 18, 2002 04:27 am, you wrote: > Hi all, > > I've been working with PHP/MySQL on Win NT and Win 2000 for a few weeks. > I've now set up a Linux machine (Mandrake 8.1 on Dell laptop) and have > moved my files across. > > I use an include file which logs on to the MySQL server and then connects > to the database.
