Hello all.
I used the code below successfully to connect to a MySQL db on one hosting
provider. I've moved the code to a new hosting provider with new values and it
returns:
Access denied for user 'user'@'db.hostprovider.net' (using password: YES)
Even though I can copy and paste these three values (host, user and pass) and
paste into Navicat to make a connection. So the credentials are correct, but
they are not authenticating when used in PHP. I've tried making host
"localhost" and "127.0.0.1"… both with the same result.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here?
Appreciate it.
Thanks,
--Rick
$db_name = "mydb";
$vc_host = "db.hostprovider.net";
$vc_user = "user";
$vc_pass = "pass";
$connection = @mysql_connect($vc_host, $vc_user, $vc_pass);
$db = mysql_select_db($db_name, $connection);
echo mysql_error();

are navcat and php on the same machine? mysql user accounts can and often do
take into account which machine the connection is comming from?

Try this for me

$db = mysql_connect($vc_host, $vc_user, $vc_pass);
mysql_select_db($db_name, $db);
if (!$db) {

Please at least use mysqli_* functions. Every time someone recommends we
use mysql_* functions, a kitten kills a programmer.

Could not connect: Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password:
YES)
Using mysqli_ returns the same error message as well.

Isn't that just telling you that the uid is not defined for the proper
access to any mysql db? It's been awhile since I set my accesses up so
I can't remember. I have one user that I use to do all my connections
with. That user is declared for each db with full access.

Ash,
The question was asked about mysql functions.
As much as the php list would like to force people from using mysql, I guess
you should not have invented it, if you don't want people to still use it.

Actually, the question never mentioned mysql_* functions, so telling someone to
use them is wrong.

Sorry, just re-read the OP and realised he was using the mysql_*
functions.
I still stand by my statement of not using them though. People should be
advised that the functions are deprecated fully now and are not safe to
use.

Simple test I just did.
A simple script that first connects to mysql and then tries to select a db.
With a uid/pswd that I just made up for the script, I get the following:
****
Error - Could not connect to database from sql_db_connect
Access denied for user 'albany_ginerjm3'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
****
Going into my host's mysql manager, I created the uid/pswd to match what
my script has in its code. The next execution returns this:
****
Error - Could not select database in sql_db_connect
Access denied for user 'albany_ginerjm3'@'localhost' to database
'albany_jgfiles'
****
Going back to my mysql manager, I added the new user to the db that I am
trying to select. No more error messages.
I would check that the user is defined to access the db that you are
trying to use, if not all the dbs you have.

I agree. Thanks Ash. Always good recommendations from your end.

It's not this php list. It's the php developers. mysql* functions are
set to be removed in a release coming soon.
Time marches on. mysql* functions were written first, then the mysqli*
functions were written. mysql* is old, out of date, and not begin
supported.
Should not have written it? Maybe? But maybe no libraries should have
been written, nothing should move forward, better ways should not have
been found.
Maybe you want to do your computing using pebbles, too.

So let me understand how this works.
Someone ask for help, no matter what version they are using or function that is
currently in place.
We slam them.
Call them an idiot.
Not that they ask a question about a function in the CURRENT version. Yes the
documentation does fully express the function is depreciated, but let's deal
with the now.
So let's NOT answer the question? (Hello, welcome to MICROSOFT)
I am very glad 90% of other languages that have list don't have the same
approach.
They would gladly give you the answer, but then go on to express how they may
suggest this (with example) because it is (safer, easier, ect...).
Every time I see someone give a simple answer in an approach to help them
learn, in comes the marching band of ignorance and they are toting the banner
of epic fail.
This is a list to help people understand php and grow the community and
knowledge base of its inner workings.
If you want to answer at question please at least use SOMETHING that is
conducive to educating them.
