I have not seen any good examples on how to connect to a mySQL db. My
website uses phpMyAdmin to administer the SQL databases. What confuses
me is where are the databases that I create located? For example, if my
website is www.mywebsite.com and I have installed myphpadmin in the
folder tkd, now using this I have created two databases, one named
'acct' with a single table named 'persons', and another database named
'terms' with a single table named accounts. How would I specify in php
that I wanted to connect to the acct database and pull from the persons
table?
Thanks 6 1857
Phpmyadmin is a web base mysql databse administration tool, it doesn't
matter where u install it under your webroot. It helps you to
adminstrate mysql db using a web browser insted of using command line
mysql> tool.
When you create a db using phpmyadmin or in any other way, mysql stores
the data files in a directory (Data Directory) which is specified in
my.ini file.
After adding a user with appropriate privileges you can connect to
mysql localy or remotely.
If you are going to use only one table you can select that db after
connecting to mysql like,
//copy paste from php manual
$link = mysql_connect(' localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password ');
if (!$link) {
die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());
}
// make foo the current db
$db_selected = mysql_select_db ('foo', $link);
if (!$db_selected) {
die ('Can\'t use foo : ' . mysql_error());
}
you can use mysql_db_query( ) function to send a query to terms database
while acct is selected.
You may want to look at php manuel...
yes you can use mysql_db_query function as,
............
mysql_connect($ hostname, $user, $passwd);
$result = mysql_db_query( $db1, $query1);
$row1 = mysql_fetch_obj ect($result);
$result = mysql_db_query( $db2, $query2);
$row2 = mysql_fetch_obj ect($result);
.............
mysql_connect($ hostname, $user, $passwd);
$result = mysql_db_query( $db1, $query1);
$row1 = mysql_fetch_obj ect($result);
$result = mysql_db_query( $db2, $query2);
$row2 = mysql_fetch_obj ect($result);
Botan Guner,
I have a similar problem and I use exactly your code
//copy paste from php manual
$link = mysql_connect(' localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password ');
if (!$link) {
die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());
}
<
and I get
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_IF in
my program (or your program or the manual's program)
on line
'if (!$link) {'
Something must be wrong in my setup. Can you give me a hint?

Lennart,
I don't see an error there. I suspect it's someplace earlier in your
code. Probably mismatched single quotes.

You are right and the error was mine. I forgot a semicolon.

Originally, I want to user ports to install phpBB
But I found that phpBB doesn't support mysql 5.x (but the ports
installed mySQL 5.0.0 alpha)
so I deinstall mysql5-server and mysql5-client
And then I install mysql41-server and mysql41-client on FreeBSD 5.3 by
ports
but now , mysql is not workable
