I'm setting up a site and am having loads of problems with MySQL
(which i don't use much, being a Postgres fan). The server is not
controlled by myself and I'm waiting on a reply from the admin. In
the meantime:
PHP 4.3.9
Mysql 4.1.10a (server) 3.23.49 (client)
The database has been set up along with PHPMyAdmin (i also rarely
use this). I have been provided with a user & pass for PHPMyAdmin,
as well as a user & pass for the DB. Using the former, i have
created the tables and copied in my data. Within that interface, i
can make any query i'd like.
However, from within a PHP script (and using the second user &
pass), i seem to be SOL. Even the most basic queries return empty
results. Debugging has been a royal pain because interfaces such as
MDB2, DB, etc. are also not available. That means relying on
mysql_error() which is frustrating.
After much dicking around, i've come to the conclusion that the
problem must be that the user does not have permission to select
from the DB. A comment on the mysql_error() manual page [1] says
that, in the case of "Access denied ..." mysql_error() returns the
empty string.
I feel like i've taken crazy pills! Please, someone tell me this
isn't true! How does one debug a problem like this? How can i know
if i have SELECT rights to the table?
