not too sure but can your database name be a path?? >>> Rui Francisco <rui.francisco@xxxxxxx> 11/10/2004 4:28:21 PM >>> Its a simple script $_SERVER['utilizador']='user'; $_SERVER['pass']='pass'; $_SERVER['host']='localhost or IP address'; $_SERVER['db_name']='c:/path/dbname.fdb'; include_once('DB.php'); $dsn="ibase://".$_SERVER['utilizador'].":".$_SERVER['pass']."@".$_SERVER['host']."/".$_SERVER['db_name']; $ligacaoBD=DB::connect($dsn); if (DB::isError($ligacaoBD)) { die($ligacaoBD->getMessage()); } The user has admin right on the database, and the database doesn't implement security measures like Mysql for access from other hosts. The problem is that if i run the script on the browser it works, but on the command line on Windows machine it doesn't work Thanks in advance Rui Francisco Angelo Zanetti wrote: >well maybe you are trying to connect to localhost which could be fine >for the server but not from commandline... send more info. > > > >>>>Rui Francisco <rui.francisco@xxxxxxx> 11/10/2004 2:06:09 PM >>> >>>> >>>> >Hi, > >I have a small problem with a PHP script with Pear DB > >The problem is the following: I'm creating a shell script in PHP that >access one interbase database. > >The problem is that if i run it on a webserver the script run >correctly >but if i runit in the command line it reports one error (DB Error: >connect failed). > >Does anybody know what is the problem ? > >Thanks in advance >Rui Francisco > > > -- Rui Francisco - rui.francisco@xxxxxxx FCCN - Fundação para a Computação Científica Nacional Av.
