Re: PHP and MySQL help please !
Hello,
Try this
?
function samp_db_connect()
{
$hostname = localhost;
$username = joe;
$password = user;
$dbName = test;
$link = @mysql_pconnect($hostname, $username, $password);
if ($link mysql_select_db($dbName))
return $link;
return FALSE;
}
samp_db_connect() or exit();
?
good luck

$db = mysql_pconnect(localhost, user, password);
Ideas ? Why is it now a undefined function ?

What gets me if I can do all this from the mysql prompt:-
laptopmysql -u user -p (enterpassword gets me in)
mysqluse test; OK
mysqlselect * from logbook; OK (shows entries no probs);
-
What am I doing wrong ?
It doesnt get past the
@ $db = mysql_pconnect(localhost, user, password);
in the code.

SOURCE CODE ??
Neither. It's eventually going to link the final php binary with
the mysql shared libraries (probably libmysqlclient).
I'm not too familiar with PHP, so I don't know if '--with-mysql=' wants
the location of the MySQL root directory (typically /usr/local/mysql for
source installations) or the directory that contains the libraries (like
above, but /usr/local/mysql/lib).
Check to see if /usr/local/mysql exists first.
Better yet, try this:
find /usr -name libmysqlclient*
Hopefully, it will show you the location of one (or more) MySQL client
libraries.
Start there.
