I think you're misunderstanding what those comments are saying. If you don't specify a port in mysql_connect() then PHP will try to use what is defined by mysql.default_port in php.ini. If mysql.default_port is not defined *then* it will start loking at other places (as detailed in the comments). -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-db ------------------------------------------ New Year Resolution: Ignore top posted posts -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
