Hello all, I am trying to integrate the mysql with php. As I am using the Red Hat 7.0, I know that they come pre-installed and pre-configured. When i created test.php with the <?php phpinfo() ?> line, the page shows that the php is able to recognize mysql. I created a small table 'namelist' in a database named 'newone'. I am trying to read the table through a php file. Here is the simple php page that i have created for this purpose. <html> <head> <title>Name List</title> </head> <body> <?php $db=mysql_connect ("localhost","myname","mypassword"); mysql_select_db ("newone",$db); $result = mysql_query ("select * from namelist"); printf ("First Name: %s<br>\n", mysql_result($result, 0, "firstname")); printf ("Last Name: %s<br>\n", mysql_result($result, 0, "lastname")); ?> </body> </html> It is producing the following bunch of errors. Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) in /var/www/html/namelist.php on line 7 Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /var/www/html/namelist.php on line 8 Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) in /var/www/html/namelist.php on line 9 Warning: MySQL: A link to the server could not be established in /var/www/html/namelist.php on line 9 Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /var/www/html/namelist.php on line 10 First Name: Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /var/www/html/namelist.php on line 11 Last Name: Can any one tell me why is it producing these errors.
