I have defined (just for testing) a user in my SQL named "pubuser" and
granted it access to a database "publications." Of course I also created
the database and two tables.
I can access and manipulate the tables via phpMyAdmin and I can log in
to sql using pubuser via the command-line interface.
I have the following php code:
<?php // login.php
$db_hostname = 'localhost';
$db_database = 'publications';
$db_username = 'pubuser';
$db_password = 'abc';
?>
also I have a test web page:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Connect to SQL</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
Echo "Hello";
require_once 'login.php';
echo "got require";
$db_server = mysql_connect($db_hostname, $db_username, $db_password);
if (!$db_server)
die("Unable to connect to MySQL: " . mysql_error());
echo "Congrats, it seems you have connected to the server <br />
host: $db_hostname<br />
user: $db_username<br />
password: $db_password <br />
for database: $db_database<br />";
print_r($db_server);
?>
</body>
</html>
If I try to run this, it briefly says "connecting to localhost" and then
indefinitely it says "waiting for localhost..."
If I comment out the connect statement, the rest runs. What should I
look for?
Thanks
