New user asks for help with connect func tion.

I would appreciate any assistance.

I have MySQL 4.0.21 and Apache 2.0.52 and PHP 5.0.2 newly installed on mmy
laptop.

I am able to use PHP and Apache in my browser and see results.

However, I am not successful when I attempt to connect to MySQL with PHP.

The simple connection script I am using is as follows:
============================================================ ==
$conn = mysql_connect("LocalHost", "wesmith", "my password");
echo $conn;
?>
============================================================ =

I saved this script as mysqlconnect.php.
When I access the script with my web browser I expect to see..
Resource id #1

Instead I see nothing at all. No error message. Simply a blank screen.

Note: I have been able to view other output from PHP with my browser that
does not involve MySQL. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.

I do not wonder. 'conn' is an internal representation o the connection.
It is nothing a human could read.

You must create SQL statements, send them over to the server using
'conn' and then display the results returned.

Just study the MySQL documentation.

You're getting the same result as any of us would get with your
script, conn is an internal object, it shouldn't answer your echo
request. If you got no errors, congratulations, you've connected, now
what?! MySQL must know what to do...

Take a look at the manual and try some scripts that do more than
connect, and ask back in case you get any error. Good luck.

RE: New user asks for help with connect func tion.

This is how I do it!

--------------------------------------






$conn = mysql_connect( "localhost", "user", "password", TRUE );
if (!$conn) {
die( 'Could not connect: ' . mysql_error() );
}
echo $conn;
?>

Re: New user asks for help with connect func tion.

OK, so, this is how I use it, specially to exploit free servers
(sshhh, don't tell anyone).

$link =3D mysql_connect('host', 'user', 'password');
$db_list =3D mysql_list_dbs($link);

while ($row =3D mysql_fetch_object($db_list)) {
echo $row->Database . "\n";
$status =3D explode(' ', mysql_stat($link));
print_r($status);
printf("MySQL server version: %s\n", mysql_get_server_info());
}
?>

RE: New user asks for help with connect func tion.

Wes,

I'm not sure whether this is related to your problem but it sounds like the
problem that I had after installing Apache2 and PHP5.

The installation routine that I used apparently identified the php5 dll in
the "httpd.conf" file as:

LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache.dll

But it needs to be:

LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll

Note the "2" in the dll name.

Hope this helps.
