Is my code for seeing a database wrong? Please help - getting very desperate!

Please help - getting very desperate! Sun, 12 October 2003 05:39

I have PHPDEV 4.2.3 from Firepages.com.a u as the upgrade to 4.3.0 did
not work. I also had an abortive download from PHP.NET as I could not
configure Apache myself.

The REAL problem is that PHPmyAdmin works and sees my test database
Wines....
But my PHP program does not!

The code I have used is:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<TITLE> Getting PHP & MY SQL to work </TITLE>
<head>Wines PHP Tester<BR></head>
<body>
<?php
echo "This is PHP here....<BR>\n" ;
$link_id = @msql_pconnect( "localhost" );
if (!$link_id) {
echo ("Failed to connect to MySQL!");
exit;
}
else;
{
echo "Connected OK!";
}

if (!mysql_select_ db("Wines")) {
echo ("Failed to select database cms!");
exit;

}
echo ("Connected to Database");
$resultset = mysql_query("SE LECT * FROM wine");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row ($resultset)) {
echo "Date $row[0]: $row[1]\n";
}
echo ("end");
?>
</html>
</BODY>
</HTML>

And I have also tried:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Getting PHP & MY SQL to work </TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<html>
<head>Wines PHP Tester<BR></head>
<body>
<?php
echo "This is PHP here....<BR>\n" ;
$connection = mysql_connect(" localhost");

$db = mysql_select_db ("Wines",$conne ction);
$query = "SELECT * FROM Wine";
echo "Select..." ;
$result = mysql_query($qu ery,$connection );
echo "result..." ;

?>
</body>
</html>
</BODY>
</HTML>
But I get no results. It works fine in PHPmyAdmin though.

I did have a different Mysql on my XPHome box which I have
subsequently deleted as it could not connect to the server once PHP
was installed.

I am falling further behind in my degree as I can even get the db up
and running so I cant even get coding!

Please please help.

try this

<?php
class base
{
#### SQL ####
//In this part of the Base class are located all sql related
functions
var $connected = false;

function sql_connect() //In this function u make a sql connection
{
############# FILL THIS IN: #############
$mysqlhost = 'localhost'; // Database
provider URL
$mysqluser = 'tobegood_test' ; // Database
gebruiker
$mysqlpassword = 'test'; // Database wachtwoord
$mysqldb = 'tobegood_test1 '; // Database
naam
############# That was all thnx ###########
if(!$this->connected)
{
$conn =
mysql_connect($ mysqlhost,$mysq luser,$mysqlpas sword) or die("Could not
connect to database!");
$select = mysql_select_db ($mysqldb,$conn ) or
die("Could not select the database!");
$connected = true;
}
}

function sql_query($quer y) //With this function u do a sql query
{
if(!$this->connected)
{
$this->sql_connect( );
}
$result = mysql_query($qu ery) or die("MySQL error :
".mysql_error() );
return ($result);
}
#### End SQL ####
}

class test extends base
{
function test()
{
$sql = $this->sql_query("SEL ECT * FROM wine");
$count = 0;
while($info = mysql_fetch_arr ay($sql))
{
echo $info[$count];
$count++;
}
}
}

$test = new test();

?>

Haven't tested it because my php server is down but it should work

good luck

mysql and not msql !

change user_name and user_password with your user name and passord

I noticed that Message-ID:
<4e************ **************@ posting.google. com> from James contained
the following:
$link_id = @msql_pconnect( "localhost" );
if (!$link_id) {
echo ("Failed to connect to MySQL!");


According to the manual, that function is used to make a persistent
connection to MiniSQL Dunno if it works with MySQL.

Try
$db = mysql_connect(" localhost", "username", "password") ;

if (!mysql_select_ db("Wines",$db) ) {
echo ("Failed to select database");
exit;
etc.,etc.,

Hi I'm developing a program and the client is worried about future reuse of the code. Say 5, 10, 15 years down the road. This will be a major factor in selecting the development language. Any comments on past experience, research articles, comments on the matter would be much appreciated. I suspect something like C would be the best based on comments I received from the VB news group. Thanks for the help in advance James Cameron

I am just trying to decide whether to split my code and uses code behind. I did it with one of my pages and found it was quite a bit of trouble.
