Newbie - MAC - MAMP on port 8889 I have this connection to Mysql database called 'test' Other Php stuff works ok but now I'm trying to alter the table (never did that before...) Connection called 'try1'... <?php # FileName="Connection_php_mysql.htm" # Type="MYSQL" # HTTP="true" $hostname_try1 = "127.0.0.1:8889"; $database_try1 = "test"; $username_try1 = "test"; $password_try1 = "test"; $try1 = mysql_pconnect($hostname_try1, $username_try1, $password_try1) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR); ?> The lines below don't error but also don't do anything.... I must be missing something here.... Right? Maybe it doesn't know to use try1 connection? How do I add that? <?php $sql = 'ALTER TABLE `ztest` ADD `myfield2` VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL;'; ---or--- $sql = 'ALTER TABLE `ztest` RENAME TO `ztest2`;'; ?> -- Thanks - RevDave Cool @ hosting4days . com [db-lists] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
