Hello, all.
I have a working app that runs in PHP 4.4.9 on the server. I develop
the app on my local environment, which runs PHP 5.2.6.
The setup is thus:
From my index, I have
require_once('config.php');
require_once('dbstuff.php');
config.php looks like this:
<?php
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_user = 'someuser';
$db_password = 'somepassword';
$
...snipped...
?>
dbstuff.php looks like this:
<?php
if( !$dbh ) {
$dbh = mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_password) or die('Could
not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
...snipped...
?>
For some reason, the $db_host, $db_user, and so on defined in config.php
are not accessible from dbstuff.php on my development environment. I
wlll get
[timestamp] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Notice: Undefined variable:
db_host in somepath\db_stuff.php on line whatever
which causes
'Could not connect: some MySQL error message that is obtained when
attempting to login with a nonexistent user'
This works on the production environment (the one with PHP version
4.4.9). register_globals is Off in both environments.
What is going on, here?
Regards,
A. Wilson
