(':)') know php 5 has seperated from mysql 4.1 version database server, javascript:insertsmilie
Smile :)anyone know how to configure the PHP 5 to "call" mysql 4.1 to execute the database query?

1.)i've uncomment the php_mysql.dll on php.ini inside apache.
2.) copy "some" dll into the system 32 in the windows installation folder
3.)set the path to reach php c:\php; inside PATH environment.

what else have i miss out?

i've got this error when running the code!
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) in G:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\a\conn.php on line 4
Could not connect: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

and my coding source is:


<?php

$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root@localhost', '@@@')
   or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
echo 'Connected successfully';
?>

Hello

Please can you check that MySQL is running on localhost, and that it's accepting connections to the correct port.

Thank you

I normally connect as follows

INTERNUT

I normally connect as follows
<?
     $link = connect("localhost","root","root345") or die(mysql_error());
?>
Remove the root@localhost part and normally the root does not have a password, so if there is no password set just enter

mysql_connect("localhost","root","");

In the above example i assumed that your password was root345

hi
zimdawg79 is right

just like this u will connect to databse
mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password") or die(mysql_error());

it will work just check u r running it on localhost

for the easiest way to connect all sever connection much better to have either of the two the (XAMPP) and (NETSERVER)

xampp includes evry thing such as:

Apache 2.2.3
MySQL 5.0.27
PHP 5.2.0 & PHP 4.4.4
phpMyAdmin 2.9.1.1
FileZilla FTP Server 0.9.20
OpenSSL 0.9.8d

netsever: just visit this link (http://sourceforge.net/projects/netserver/)

i hope this can help ;))

yes, definitely, use user name without domain :) have fun .
