Why Mysql Isnt Connecting


trying to get php to connect with mysql so that I can start querying db(running locally on my machine and php works fine) however I'm having trouble. This is the error it spits out-

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in D:phpwebconnect.php on line 5

Unable to connect to MySQL

Could anyone assist me on this matter.

Connecting To Mysql But Not Connecting
I'm including a database connection file from another website. eg. include(http://domain1.com/dbc.inc.php) is in my page on domain2.com - now I tihnk both these domains are on the same server but I tihnk thats probably irrelevant.

The issue is that the file includes and runs perfectly, it says it has successfully established a mysql connection, however when I try to use that connection it says there is no connection... or more correction it says Warning: mysql_query(): Access denied for user 'nobody'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in ...

Warning: mysql_query(): A link to the server could not be established in...

which usually means, you forgot to include your db script dummy. now I could just create 'dummy' pages that just have include(domain1.com/pagename.php) and that would work because we do a similar thing on other pages to grab the content.

PHP Not Connecting To MySQL?
I installed Apache 2.0.55, PHP 5.1.1, and MySQL 5.0.17 (in that
order, on Windows XP). I have managed to get Apache and PHP working
right, and MySQL by itself seems ok too. However, when I try to do any
MySQL command within PHP, it just does nothing. No success, no error.
I tried uncommenting the line "extension=php_mysql.dll", but when I
restart Apache it tells me "PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
php_mysql.dll - The specified module could not be found.". No matter
where I copy the file so that it can find it. No matter what I put in
"extension_dir".
What's wrong?

Connecting To Mysql With Php
I have been racking my brain trying to figure out what I am missing trying
to follow this book to get a php script to work. I would really appreciate
if someone could point out my errors. I've been up really late going over
all the config files. Why do they always scim installation for the

users need to do. Then we run into these problems because the author takes
so much for granted

I'm using Apache 2.0.55 with PHP 5.1.2 and MySql AB 5.0.18. Windows XP SP2.

What I believe I'm missing is how do I tell PHP & Apache where the Databases

C:/mysql/bin, c:/mysql/data/books, c:/apached/apache2/htdocs for servering
up web pages, and c:/php.

Connecting Dreamweaver To MySQL
I'm new to MySQL. I recently installed it as part of a preconfigured package (Apache, PHP and MySQL) from "Apache Friends (XAMPP).

I was following a tutorial on connecting Dreamweaver to MySQL at
http://www.macromedia.com/support/dr...sql_config.htm
when I hit a snag. I think I created the MySQL username and password in the wrong directory, and it messed everything up. I reinstalled XAMPP and am giving it another try.

But before I mess with the MySQL password again, I'd like to ask a couple questions. First, do I really need one? I'm only using MySQL on my computer, which no one else uses. I publish my sites to an ISP, which has their own MySQL program installed. Or is MySQL something that has to be customized and published along with your websites?

This is what the Deramweaver instructions say about the password:

"During the MySQL installation, MySQL creates an account called root with no password, which can be used to log into the database. It is highly recommended that a password is assigned to this account since root has full control over the MySQL databases. To assign the root account a password run the following command, which will set the root password to new-password. You should replace new-password with a password of your choice that is harder to guess."

> mysqladmin -u root password new-password

My next question regards this statement:

"It is recommended that separate MySQL accounts are created for each PHP web application. You can create as many MySQL accounts as you wish and assign different rights and permissions to each account. Web application users do not need the same level of privileges as the root account."

When they say "each PHP web application," do they mean create a separate MySQL account for each WEBSITE? Does that mean I have to create a new MySQL password for each of my websites and connect it to Dreamweaver individually?

I also have PHPMyAdmin installed, but I haven't learned how to use it yet. When I click "Test PHPMyAdmin," I get a page that has a setting labeled "Create new database."

There's also a link to "Privileges," which leads to a page with keywords like "user," "password," "root" and "edit." Maybe I should use one of these pages to add a MySQL password (if necessary).

But I thought I should first ask if it's NECESSARY to create a password for MySQL.

PHP & MySQL - Connecting Two Databases
I am trying to understand the best way to extract a list of users from a
table based upon their location.

To do this I have a table containing all the UK postcodes with a grid
reference x & y.
postcode x y
AB10 392900 804900
AB11 394500 805300
AB12 393300 801100
AB13 385600 801900
AB14 383600 801100
AB15 390000 805300
AB16 390600 807800
AB21 387900 813200
AB22 392800 810700
AB23 394700 813500
AB25 393200 806900
AB30 370900 772900

In a seperate table I have a list of users including a postcode.
id firstname postcode
1 Heather BH4
2 Vicky OL1
3 Paola CF8
4 Joanna W14
5 Steve BD13
6 Sally NN1

In short I would like your opinoin on how best (most efficiently) to
calculate the nearest 20 users. The method I am using to calculate the
distance between the users and any chosen postcode is good old Pythagoras
dist = sq root ( (userX * userX) + (userY * userY) - (locationX * locationX)
+ (locationY * locationY) )

It seems that looping through the users to first calculate the distance is
essential. After that point I am not sure about the besr way to proceed.
Do I write the results to a temp table (with distances) then call them in
order of distance or is there a better way?

Problems Connecting To MySQL
I just installed PHP 5.0.4, Apache 2.0.54, and MySQL 4.1.13 a few days ago
on WinXP SP2. My goal is to learn to use these programs.

I cannot, absolutely cannot connect to MySQL using PHP. I've tried
everything possible including the mysqli functions.

I have no idea what is wrong. I don't get any error messages at all. It's
almost as if PHP stops processing the php file in mid stream.

PHP is installed properly (I followed the installation instructions to the
letter). Simple php files process OK. MySQL is installed fine--I've
loaded data from an Access table and have been querying it fine using the
MySQL Query Browser. But I cannot connect to MySQL using PHP!

I am thinking that someone could create a simple DB with one table in it
with a little bit of text in one of the fields (as a test), then write some
PHP code that they KNOW works. Then I'll set up a DB the same and run that
PHP code and see if it works on my system.

Is My Script Connecting To MySQL Correctly?
My first php script involves logining in to a site. I used a tutorial
from a book and it doesn't seem to be working correctly. The code is
below

I started with a simple form to insert a username and password

------------------------------------------------
quote:<?php pass.form.php ?>
<html>

<head><title> User Authentication</title></head>

<body bgcolor="white">

<h2>Please Log in </h2>
<form method="post" action="pass.login.php">
USERNAME: <input type="text" name="user"><br>
PASSWORD: <input type="password" name="pass"><br>
<input type="submit" value="log in">

</form>

</body>
</html>
------------------------------------------------

next comes the login script

------------------------------------------------
quote:<?php

/* verifies username and password */

// set up variables
define ('HOST', 'localhost');
define ('USER', 'root');
define ('PASS', '*******');
define ('DB', 'comp390');

//connect and get numfound
mysql_connect(HOST, USER, PASS);
mysql_select_db(DB);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) AS numfound FROM users WHERE
user='{$HTTP_POST_VARS['user']} AND
pass='{$HTTP_POST_VARS['pass']}'");

//Decide what we're going to allow
$result_ar = @mysql_fetch_array($result);
if ($result_ar['numfound'] < 1) // ***** LOGIN FAILED ******
{
header('Location: pass.form.php?error=1');

}
else // ***** LOGIN succeeded!! *****
{
echo "Logged in Successfully!";
}

?>
------------------------------------------------

now I have a database set up, comp390. A table called users so as far
as I can see that is ok. I have populated the DB with a few users
giving each a password and I can't get the script to echo... Logged in
Successfully. Even when I use the correct usernames and password. So
before I go any furthur and improve the script I need to sort this
problem out.

Connecting To Seperate MySQL Server Through PHP
We currently have our mySQL server on the same box as the Apache
server.
For security and load balancing, we're going to be moving the mySQL
server to another box.
We're already using a single included connection file in all of our PHP
pages that has the server, username, password line that connects to the
database.

Aside from changing "localhost" to the IP/port number of the new
server, what else should be done, especially in the security sense?
If someone were to hack and be able to get access to view files, they
could open that file and see the username/password. Is there some way
to encrypt it or something?
So far the only thing I can think of to help limit that file's exposure
is to place it outside the /var/www/htdocs folder region. And of course
make sure the mySQL account it's connecting to has only the mySQL
permissions it needs.

Connecting Two Mysql Tables From Different Databases
How would you connect two tables from 2 different databases using PHP scripts? Because, one database that contains customer table is dedicated to one project, and then here comes another project that also uses the customer table...the clients dont want to reenter all of values from the first database to the second database. Dumping would not be an option cause they want the two projects to run in different databases... and whenever the user made changes to the customer table from the first database, it should also affect the customer table from the second database.

Remote MySQL Database Connecting Problem

Connecting To MySQL Without Storing Password In Clear Text
I have a website in a Linux/Apache shared hosting environment and have
been given access to the MySQL server running on the same machine. To
access this database from PHP, I have to call mysql_connect(host,
user, password) where the password is hardcoded into my PHP source
file in clear text.

I see two security problems with this:

1) Since the PHP source is in my public webserver area, another user
of the same server could telnet into the server and look at the source
file and see the password file. I can't lock the file down using Unix
file system permissions or else the webserver won't be able to read
it.

2) If my ISP messes up their webserver config and accidentally stops
parsing PHP files and outputs the PHP file as plain text, the password
will be visible to all.

Is there any other way for PHP to authenticate itself to MySQL?
