Why can't I connect to database

[astoller]

I copied all files of my application from remote server to local server.
When I run search . php in localhost, I get :

Warning: Access denied for user: 'ODBC@localhost' (Using password: NO) in c:\Program Files\EasyPHP\www\Lockwood\config\f_db.php on line 27
Database error: connect(localhost,,PASSWORD) failed.
MySQL Error: ()

f_db.php is
class f_db {
var $lid = 0;
var $qid = 0;
var $row;
var $record = array();
var $error = '';
var $errno = '';
var $db_host = 'localhost';
var $db_name = 'lockwoods';
var $db_user = '';
var $db_pass = '';

function f_db($dbvars = '') {
if (empty($dbvars)) {
global $dbvars;
}
$this->db_host = $dbvars['host'];
$this->db_name = $dbvars['name'];
$this->db_user = $dbvars['user'];
$this->db_pass = $dbvars['pass'];
}

The config.php files is:
<?

$dbvars['user'] = '';
$dbvars['pass'] = '';
$dbvars['host'] = 'localhost';
$dbvars['name'] = 'lockwoods';

?>

whats your connect statement look like?

[astoller]

Below is the connect statement, although as a newbie
I can’t understand it.
In mysql area, there is a user set up as
localhost, root and “blank” for password
So should this connect?
What does this script do?

class f_db {
var $lid = 0;
var $qid = 0;
var $row;
var $record = array();
var $error = '';
var $errno = '';
var $db_host = 'localhost';
var $db_name = 'root';
var $db_user = '';
var $db_pass = '';

function f_db($dbvars = '') {
if (empty($dbvars)) {
global $dbvars;
}
$this->db_host = $dbvars['host'];
$this->db_name = $dbvars['name'];
$this->db_user = $dbvars['user'];
$this->db_pass = $dbvars['pass'];
}

function connect() {
if ($this->lid == 0) {
$this->lid = mysql_pconnect($this->db_host,$this->db_user,$this->db_pass);
if (!$this->lid) {
$this->halt('connect('.$this->db_host.','.$this->db_user.',PASSWORD) failed.');
}
if (!@mysql_select_db($this->db_name,$this->lid)) {
$this->halt('Cannot connect to database '.$this->db_name);
return 0;
}
}
return $this->lid;
}

found somting this:::::

class f_db {
var $lid = 0;
var $qid = 0;
var $row;
var $record = array();
var $error = '';
var $errno = '';
var $db_host = 'localhost';
AMEND

var $db_name = 'root'; shld be name of dbase .

var $db_user = ''; put root in here
var $db_pass = ''; put passwd or leave blnk, yr preference.....

FINISH AMEND

function f_db($dbvars = '') {
if (empty($dbvars)) {
global $dbvars;
}
THE AMENDMENTS will now correspond these 4 lines , below.

$this->db_host = $dbvars['host'];
$this->db_name = $dbvars['name'];
$this->db_user = $dbvars['user'];
$this->db_pass = $dbvars['pass'];
}

one tip is to strip out all the above section , thats the connection bits we amended and put them into an config.inc / php file.

will save on time to construct for each diff dbase connection and help with coding, try it out after wards.

😉 hope that helps, sorry about the time getting bak 2 yer
