PEAR DB help

[lesmith]

Hello Peeps

Please help im going nuts.

I have running a local FreeBSD server

On it is the usuals php/mysql

I have installed pear and I am tring to get it to work.

I have all the correct paths etc but im getting errors connecting to it. Here is my snippet code.

include_once("DB.php");
$dbh = DB::connect("mysql://root:password1@localhost/databasename");

This does not work so I have tried this

dsn = 'mysql://root:standby1@localhost/boxedunique';
$db = DB::Connect($dsn);
if (DB::IsError($db)) die($db->getMessage());

and this still does not work. Im getting this error in my window.

Warning: Problem with method call - please report this bug in /vhosts/database/htdocs/tutorial.php on line 14

Can anyone please help.

Thankyou if you can

What about this?:

// Connect to the database
$db = DB::connect(array(
    'username' => $dbUser,
    'password' => $dbPass,
    'hostspec' => $dbServer,
    'database' => $dbDatabase,
    'phptype' => $dbType
));

I have tried it all different ways

This bit of code is the problem

$db = DB::connect

It does not like it

This is also what I have tried
////////////////////////////////////
config.php
$DB_host = "localhost"; // the hostname of the database server
$DB_user = "name"; // the username to connect with
$DB_pass = "passy"; // the user's password
$DB_dbName = "d_base"; // the name of the database to connect to
$DB_dbType = "mysql"; // the type of database server.
//////////////////////////////////////////
tutorial.php

include_once("config.inc.php");
include_once(APP_INC_PATH . "class.template.php");

$tpl = new Template_API();
$tpl->setTemplate("tutorial.tpl.html");

include_once("DB.php");

$dsn = $DB_dbType . "://" // Build a DSN string (Data Source Name)
. $DB_user . ":" // Required by DB::connect()
. $DB_pass . "@"
. $DB_host . "/"
. $DB_dbName;

$db = DB::connect($dsn, TRUE); // Creates a database connection object in $db
// or, a database error object if it went wrong.
// The boolean specifies this is a persistent
// connection like mysql_pconnect(), it
// defaults to FALSE.

if (DB::isError($db)) { // Check whether the object is a connection or
// an error.
die($db->getMessage()); // Print out a message and exit if it's
// an error object.

etc..

But the error is on the same type of line error $db = DB::connect
Any idea why ?

are you sure that the include() is working?
