Problem with PHP 4 and MySQL

Danesh_D

Hello,

I have installed MySQL 4.0.18 with Apache2 and PHP 4.3.5 on a Windows XP platform and they all seems to work fine and all my PHP scripts run on my Apache web server correctly. The only problem is that MySQL functons in my PHP scripts do not run correctly. I am sure that I should change something in PHP maybe ini file or something else but I do not know how should I set PHP or maybe Apache correctly to recognize my MySQL Database installed on my computer and run my scripts and connect to my database and do database manipulation. Can anyone please help me ?

Regards,

What errors are you getting? "Does not run correctly" is pretty broad...

Hello,

As I said I think PHP on my computer has not recognized correctly where my MySQL is., because basically no connection to any MySQL databases on my computer can not established. I am sure that my PHP source code has no problem and it should work but it does not.

you need to make sure that the MySQL server is running at the time you are trying to access.
The best thing to do would be to start it as a Windows XP service on startup.

Also make sure that you are connecting to an existing database and you are using a valid username and password.

It would be helpful if you could tell us the SQL error that you are getting when you were trying to access the database.
