Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-19 15:30:27] traufeisen@php.net Description: ------------ Hi, the mysql client libs allow using a user specified "my.cnf". Such a configfile can already be set with mysqli_options and MYSQLI_READ_DEFAULT_FILE. The configfile can contain a password for connections. Such a password is only read, if the password-parameter to the mysql_real_connect c-function is NULL. Passing NULL as password to mysqli_real_connect gets converted to an empty string during zend_parse_method_parameters, so the configfile is not used for a password. At http://www.phpschlampe.de/mysqli.patch is a tiny patch to allow NULL-values for the password. This patch is against 5.2. After patching the following works: <?php $mysqli = mysqli_init(); mysqli_options($mysqli,MYSQLI_READ_DEFAULT_FILE,"/path/to/.my.cnf"); /*pass NULL as user/pass so that the values in the config-file are used*/ mysqli_real_connect($mysqli,"foo.bar.de",NULL,NULL); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=38144&edit=1
