Hi, I'm running mysql MAX 3.23.41 on LinuxPPC, everything was installed from an RPM. My problem is whenever I try to call mysql_connect (), from a php3 script, I got the error function not found or misconfigured .... ???? The script is a simple form, that passes the data to be added to an empty database, with an empty table, both the MySQL server and Apache reside on the same machine, and because it's just a test, I'm entering as root. I am developing a more complex script , but I need to solve the connection problem first .... BTW ifyou define a var $link = mysql_connect ( localhost ) or .... ; , which is the correct syntax ? localhost or 'localhost' ? Why is the command failing ??? From the console it works .... BTW The server is on a static IP without a DNS, is it correct to set mysql_connect (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) or ('xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' when you are running as localhost ????
