php/mysql in testing
Hi All,
I'm having some problems with php/mysql after a system update ...
my code was working before ... (but I've messed with it since)
test code is:
#phpinfo();
print(time());
$db_config["database_host"] = "localhost";
$db_config["database_user"] = "school";
$db_config["database_password"] = "bonfire";
$db_config["database_name"] = "school";
$db_connection = mysql_connect($db_config["database_host"] ,
$db_config["database_user"] ,$db_config["database_password"] );
if (mysql_errno()){
trigger_error("Server error:". mysql_error());
exit;
}
$db_selection = mysql_select_db($db_config["database_name"],
$db_connection);
if (mysql_errno()){
trigger_Error("Server error:". mysql_error());
exit;
}
?>
outputs
1054567413
Notice: Server error:Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database
'school' in /home/sean/projects/onlinedb/public_html/test.php on line 22
so it seems to be forgetting the db connection
any help much appreciated :)

This is clearly not logical, so why does the browser render it at all or tries
to guess what the designer really meant? That makes no sense to me. Why not
just saying bug in line 11, or something?
well untill browsers do much more error reporting than is available at
the moment - we still have to test websites on multiple browsers (or
code without any logic errors ;)

Well, if that's the assumption, why bother getting IE to work at all?
If you go to the standard, and it works in one browser, than
it'll work anywhere. Save yourself the trouble. 8:o)
Because IE has around 90% share of the browser market -- if it doesn't
work on IE, you lose your audience.
And, contrary to popular belief (hint: sarcasm!) coding
standards-compliant HTML and CSS does not mean that if "it works in one
browser, than[sic] it'll work anywhere." Not all browsers implement
standards the same or correctly -- and, with the number of older
browsers out there, you have to be worried also about graceful
degradation of the code so that bugs in older browsers don't make a site
unreadable.
even with comlpiant browsers, valid html and valid css you can still get

unfortunately different browsers cope with this situation in different
ways...
and while in this example it is easy to see what is wrong: in more
complex pages similar things happen but are much harder to debug.
and I have not seen any tools that validate html and css together
(though the mozilla DOM inspector comes close)

You can avoid this by bumping the version number, but since it seems the point of this was to get a newer version, you should be fine. yeah - I wouldn't have any complaints about apt installing the officail version over mine all comments welcome - I've only been using debian for a few weeks having migrated fron redhat.

Yeah, that's true. Try apt-get.org for lots of other backports and unofficial packages; you might even want to list your packages there. I've had a look there but not found the things I wanted BUT - now I look again and find the sane packages have already been backported !!! I was looking for the original package names of sane-frontends sane-backends but the debian packages become libsane libsane-dev libsane-extras libsane-extras-dev sane sane-gimp1.2 sane-utils oh well - thats the price of unfamiliarity ! still I learned some usefull stuf :) my next project will be to have a look at backporting gnomemeeting - which could be more trivky as the unstable package has heaps of dependancies from gnome2 thanks for your comments -- Sean -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

backporting
I needed a newer version of sane to support my scanner and ended up backporting the sane packages from unstable to testing but as its the forst time I have done this sort of thing I just want to ask - have I done this a sensible way ? I basically followed instructions from http://www.uk.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-package.en.html#s-port $ apt-get source package/unstable $ dpkg-source -x package.dsc $ cd package-version ... inspect required packages (Build-depends in .dsc file) and install them too. You need the "fakeroot" package also. $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot ...Then to install $ su -c "dpkg -i packagefile.deb" but in addition the sane-backends package had a dependency on gphoto2 that I couldn't resolve - but I don't need gphoto2 support so I deleted the --with-gphoto2 line from the configure script in rules and removed gphoto2 from the depends line the resulting packages installed fine and work nicley. Are they now installed as part of the package system ? Am I likely to have broken anything by modifying the configure script without changing the package version ? (if so - how do I change the package version) all comments welcome - I've only been using debian for a few weeks having migrated fron redhat.

I've both googled and dogpiled for this question, and it seems like maybe docbook files have to be converted to some other format first, like by using docbook2html or something similar. But surely there's a reader (or a browser plugin, etc) of some sort that would automatically make docbook files readable. To me, having to convert a file before being able to read it will be a major turn-off for the masses, because it is for me, and I'm more geeky than the masses.
