Problem Displaying MySQL date using PHP

[Anon]

On LINUX I can connect to mysql through PHP APIs but can not retieve or display data to browser from previously created table. On WINDOWS platform I do not face such problem, codes work perfectly well. Do WINDOWS and LINUX virsions of MYSQL-SERVER behave differtly? Why codes that run on WINDOWS do not work on LINUX, especially PHP-MYSQL connectivity? Please anyone help.

Regards.

It all depends on what errors you are recieving. If you are connecting to the same database from both the Windows machine and the Linux box then you need to make sure that the user that you are using to connect to the database can connect from both of those boxes. MySQL's security allows for you to specify what machine a user can connect from, if the machine isn't specified or there isn't a wildcard in that spot then the user won't be able to connect from a different machine.
