mysql_pconnect hangs code

[rockie12]

I installed and PhP Elipse and all is well with the world. I tested a few test files and all is compiling well, so then I went to try the mysql sample.

In my code when it gets to the line
@ $db = mysql_pconnect("localhost","me","mypass");

it does not get past this.

I use mysql front and use the username and password I am using in the mysql_pconnect line above to test that the user can access the database and that works fine.

What am I missing?

I used grant in mysql to grant access to the database.tables I wanted this user to have access to using both the user@localhost and just user

Thanks in advance

what if you try mysql_connect instead of mysql_pconnect?

[rockie12]

it hangs in either case. It gets to that line and just stops running.

I put
echo "here"; before the connection line

@ $db = mysql_connect("localhost","user","passwd");

and after this connection line I put

echo "here123";

The first echo line prints to the page, but the second one does not.

Where do errors go? I looked in the logs dir in the php area but it shows nothing as far as a connection problem.

I have discovered the error... it was between the chair and the keyboard. 🙂

In PHP5 they send it with a php.ini-recommended file and a php.ini-dist file. You are to take one of these and save it as php.ini and save it in the dir where you told apache the php stuff sets. Well I pointed apache at php dir but did not save one of these files as php.ini

All is good for now... but I can am sure I will be able to mess that up soon enough.
