I can run mysql from a command line. What I create a connection string using my php.ini file I get
failure. mysql_connect() errors My connection string code is very simple: <?php //list_db.php $link_id = mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password"); $result = mysql_list_dbs($link_id); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result); while($db_data = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { echo $db_data[0]. "<BR>"; $result2 = mysql_list_tables($db_data[0]); $num_rows2 = mysql_num_rows($result2); while($table_data = mysql_fetch_row($result2)) echo "--" . $table_data[0]. "<BR>"; echo "==> $num_rows2 table(s) in " . $db_data[0] . "<P>"; } ?> Using this as a test and all my other connection strings residing on my include file or one the same page as my code fails. --- Jay Blanchard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > [snip] > I have installed Mandrake Linux and it comes standard with > Apache PHP and MySQL.
