Hi
Newbie here
I am running Apache/PHP/MySQL locally which emulates my server environment
online. I want to use it as a test environment.
I am running through Julie Meloni's 'PHP Fast & Easy...' and have run up
against a problem.
Using the mysql_connect statement in a php page:
<?
$connection=mysql_connect("localhost", "threezero", "qwerty00") or die
("could not connect");
if ($connection) {
$msg = "success";
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>MySQL Connection</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<? echo "$msg"; ?>
</body>
</html>
I get the following error returned in any browser:
Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to MySQL server on
'localhost' (10061) in c:\program files\apache
group\apache\htdocs\threezero\phptests\dbstuff\db_connect.php on line 2
could not connect
This is returned after enetering the following into the 'mysql' database
using the MySQL monitor:
insert into user (host, user, password) values ('localhost', 'threezero',
password('qwerty00');
Querying the table returns the inserted values in the table (the password
column being encrypted).
I am thinking that there are some potential configuration problems as the
php page works in my online server environment (pair networks)
Has anyone got an idea where I am going wrong and/or can point me in the
right direction?
Any help appreciated.
TIA
Matt Coyne
