What version of PHP? What version of MySQL? -----Original Message----- From: Jason Davis [mailto:cephme@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2005 10:42 AM To: php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Trying to connext to MySQL with PEAR Hi all I am new to PHP and am trying to connect to mysql for the first time. I get activity on the mysql monitor when I run it, but get the following error. DB Error: connect failed The lines of code are: require_once( "DB.php" ); $dsn = "mysql://".DB_USER.":".DB_PASS."@".DB_SERVER."/".DB_NAME; echo $dsn; $isPersistant = TRUE; $db = DB::connect($dsn, $isPersistant); if ( DB::isError( $db ) ) { die ($db->getMessage()); } The constants are properly defined and passing through to this page (checked with echo), the database is created, the user has an account, and the account has rights to do all funcitons on the db. Any thoughts on what might be wrong?
