Re: Connect to MySQL via PHP with success!
Hello MySQL email listers, Success at last. The tips i received from the MySQL list, got me on track. Finally got the PHP and MySQL set up correctly, thanks to the help from this list.

I can connect to the slackware linux box from a Windows machine using ODBC. So your server is working and accepting remote connections. This is a good thing! Any ideas on what I have not done, or what I have done wrong? You haven't configured the Redhat PHP install to build in the MySQL client libraries. To verify this --try this script: --- --- Look for '--with-mysql' in the Configure Command section. Also look for a MySQL Support section. Regards,
Re: MySQL and PHP - At last and Thanks
Hello Guys (gals?) and the list, Thank you very much for the tips. Your help put me on the correct path, and I was able to install the products you suggested, and it seems that my "dummy" database demo is now working. Thank you for the help. I am a "smarter" newbie now! eric [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You need to install the client side of mysql on the linux box (libmysql.*) then compile php with the mysql modules (I think they exist in RPMs) P -----"Eric W.

Unable to Log in to MySQL from Remote machine
Hello MySql Buffs,
I have a problem. I am running mysql on slackware 9.0, version
4.0.15a. I have a web server running on a Red Hat Enterprise machine,
and would like to access the mysql database thru php, etc. Nothing new
here (except to me!). using a php script: like this:
$dsn = "mysql://mie:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/phpbook";
$db_conn = DB::connect( $dsn );
if ( DB::isError( $db_conn ) ) {
print $db_conn->getMessage( ) . "\n";
exit( 1 );
}
else {
print "Connected to database\n";
}
$db_conn->disconnect( );
?>
I cannot connect, and get an error DB: no such database.
this is thru a page on the RedHat machine. I can log on to the
slackware mysql host machine, and log on to mysql as the user no
problem, etc, and even add data to tables, etc. I am guessing that
there may be something not correctly set in terms of my mysql, users, etc?
any hints or help will help!
Thanks,
eric
