Turn on error reporting in php.ini. >Hi, >I have Apache 2, PHP 5 and MySQL 4.1 installed on an XP pro box. > >I have created a new database 'ijdb' with a single table 'joke' and have >entered data into >two of the three fields in the table. > >I can access the database / tables / data from a command prompt, and I can >access and >extract the data with an odbc_connect. > >However, when I try to connect through a mysql_connect connection type I >either receive a >'Unable to connect to the database server at this time.' error message - which >is my >default error message, or, I receive a blank window in IE / Mozilla / Opera >etc and no >error messages (just a blank screen). > >I have attached the code I am using below - hoping that someone can see where >I am going >wrong and will point me in the right direction. > >I have tried removing the @ from the file and this has no effect - >interesting?! >The error logs do not reveal anything that indicates a missing table / field. > >I wonder if anyone has any ideas ? > >Cheers, >Mike > >>"Mike Francis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: -- For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/?ref=ensita This email is sponsored by Ensita.NET http://www.ensita.net/ __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Gleb Paharenko / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ MySQL AB / Ensita.NET <___/ www.mysql.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
