I accidentally changed the summary when I added a comment.. It said "summary was required".. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-18 15:10:53] marques at displague dot com It looks like you can get either host or dbname to come from my.cnf, but not both, by leaving the value blank in the DSN as the final parameter. example: 'mysql:dbname=' will use the database parameter in my.cnf 'mysql:host=' will use the host parameter in my.cnf 'mysql:dbname=:host=' SQLSTATE[42000] [1044] Access denied for user 'myusername'@'localhost' to database ':host=' 'mysql:host=:dbname=' SQLSTATE[HY000] [2005] Unknown MySQL server host ':dbname= ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-18 14:52:04] marques at displague dot com The example should have read: $ppv = PDO('mysql',null,null,array(PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_READ_DEFAULT_GROU P=> 'php'); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-18 14:50:21] marques at displague dot com Description: ------------ When creating a pdo_mysql connection, database and hostname are required even when they are supplied in the my.cnf file. Reproduce code: --------------- contents of ~/.my.cnf: [php] user = myusername password = mypassword database = mydb host = db.mydomain.com default-character-set = utf8 PHP code to test usage of ~/.my.cnf: <? $pdo = new PDO('mysql:dbname=ppv',null,null,array(PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_READ_DEFAULT_GROUP=> 'php'); $st = $pdo->prepare("select user()"); $st->execute(); $rs = $st->fetchAll(); print_r($rs); ?> Expected result: ---------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'invalid data source name' In the above example, "dbname" is still required even though a "database" was given in ~/.my.cnf. The host given in ~/.my.cnf is also ignored, and PHP/mysql defaults to "localhost". Interestingly enough, default_character_set is applied. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41435&edit=1
