Hi,
Ok, so I can't get the FAQ to load. It gives forth lots of PHP errors. Meanwhile, I have not been able to get very far in the tutorial due to these parse errors on the examples. I am entering them correctly, I think. Case should not matter, and here is what I get: mysql> select version(); ERROR: parse error near '()' at line 1 mysql> select 'version'(); ERROR: parse error near '()' at line 1 mysql> select 'version()'; 1 rows in set (0.00 sec) +-----------+ | version() | +-----------+ | version() | +-----------+ mysql> select current_date(); ERROR: parse error near '()' at line 1 mysql> Details: I am running RedHat Linux of a 6.2 flavor. uname -a shows: Linux sql 2.2.12-20 #1 Mon Sep 27 10:25:54 EDT 1999 i586 unknown Version via mysqladmin shows: mysqladmin Ver 5.3 Distrib 3.20.32a, for pc-linux-gnu on i686 TCX Datakonsult AB, by Monty Server version 3.20.32a Protocol version 9 Connection Localhost via UNIX socket TCP port 3306 UNIX socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock Uptime: 22 min 1 sec Running threads: 1 Questions: 34 Reloads: 1 Open tables: 3 The worst part is that I can create tables and stuff with mysqladmin. No problem. Even alot of commands work in 'mysql', like GRANT. But when I try to include the password via the extension to GRANT I get the same error as I do with VERSION(), a parse error. Any help appreciated.
