Subject: Keep the PHP list ON TOPIC! (was: MYSQLyog)
so that make's your totally offtopic question okay then does?
I suppose you condone murder also because, heck, others have
done it before, right?

your mind seems rather clouded or just plain narrow.
you can't connect to a mysql server using some window gui app
... there is
no php there, period.

technically the mysql wrapper functions are part of a php extension.
there are plenty of people who run php without the mysql
extension btw.

this is general php support list - please do come back when
you have trouble
with mysql_connect(), mysql_query() and the like.
otherwise go get your help from the correct source, I'm sure there is
plenty to be found at mysql.com for example (or webyog.com???).
Put another (kinder? gentler?) way:
While the fine folks of the PHP General list might be able to make a
pretty
good guess as to the solution to your non-PHP problem, you would find
much
better, quicker, more accurate (and less prickly) advice from the
MYSQLyog
or MYSQL support lists.
The more we can keep the topic focused on PHP here, the better the
perpetual
archive will be for PHP knowledge seekers going forward.

I've been following this thread on and off, because I found the
unnecessarily hostile tone of the initial response so off-putting. But
while this rather small infraction of OT code, which can in fact be
defended, had been taking place, at the same time on this list an
ongoing, extensive discussion of the relative merits of various
databases has been going on and yet no one has said a word. My guess is
that Jonathan, as new to the list, was being selectively picked on,
while the guardians of the list looked the other way with respect to the
other thread because some of the people involved there are long time,
valuable contributors, with lots of weapons at their disposal. I could
be wrong, of course. But I'm certainly not wrong to believe that the
remedy for a foul mouth is soap and water.
