Frustrating problem with MySQL.

[Anon]

I'm getting an error in a php script I'm playing with...

$connect = mysql_connect("localhost","<myusername>","<mypassword>");
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/david/public_html/php/counter.php on line 11

I have no clue what the problem is... This exact line works perfectly in a different script... What could be the problem?

Give this and see what response you get

$connect = mysql_connect("localhost","<myusername>","<mypassword>") or die(mysql_error());

The error statement with this is usually more descriptive and can point you in the right direction.

The error message you are getting now suggests a connection problem....
I could be wrong !!

Hi,
Usually this happens when there is no succesfull connection established to the mysql Server.
Try to Remot connect to mysql Server and check for the connection.
If there is a succesfull connection then the script should work fine.
