 |      Can you access the Solaris DB from your Windows box?
 |  
 |  mysql -u <user> -h <ip_of_solaris_box> -p
 |  

Yep.

 |  Also, what is the error your getting exactly?  Are you 
 |  running the web
 |  server on the Solaris box as well?  If so drop this into 
 |  the document root:
 |  <?
 |   phpinfo();
 |  ?>
 |  
 |  and call it something original like info.php, and call it 
 |  from a browser.
 |  It should show the mysl support section.

Apache/PHP/Mysql on the Sol 2.6 box (Generic_105181-26). Yes,
paleo-computing but I don't think that is the problem.

If I empty the data and keep the schema (i.e. start with a minimal-populated
DB) it works...

In phpinfo() the mysql section looks like this:

MySQL Support                enabled 
Active Persistent Links      2 
Active Links                 2 
Client API version           3.23.39 
MYSQL_MODULE_TYPE            builtin 
MYSQL_SOCKET                 /tmp/mysql.sock 
MYSQL_INCLUDE   
MYSQL_LIBS   

Directive                    Local Value      Master Value 
mysql.allow_persistent       On               On 
mysql.default_host           no value         no value 
mysql.default_password       no value         no value 
mysql.default_port           no value         no value 
mysql.default_socket         no value         no value 
mysql.default_user           no value         no value 
mysql.max_links              Unlimited        Unlimited 
mysql.max_persistent         Unlimited        Unlimited 

Hmm, include and libs is empty...can't see that being the issue though. This
is all stuff as set (default?) from the Sol 2.6 mysql package at
sunfreeware.com.

The PHP error I am getting is:

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in
/www/sapdoc.rmoc.on.ca/html/lib/db.php on line 69

Which normally means the select from the db was malformed, but I can't see
where it is broken, and this exact same code works on the "identical" db
that is on the PC via a socket connection (but throws this error when data
is called from localhost).

Weird.
