RE: [PHP-DB] Intermittent failure when connecting to local MySQL db?

I'm not sure if other people have lots of db problems with PHP but we had enough that we switched our website around so it has a perl page that creates the HTML page, queries the db, and sends the data into PHP to have it draw a graph based on the data. It's more complicated, but perl never fails to connect to the database. We had about a 10% failure rate with the PHP. If you find out what could be causing the problem please let me know too :-) We are using Sybase instead of MySQL but if it's happening to some people across different DBMSs then maybe there's something in PHP that doesn't like something to do with the way a network is set up or something like that?? -Natalie > -----Original Message----- > From: Jed McCaleb [SMTP:swamp12@yahoo.com] > Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 12:26 PM > To: php-db@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP-DB] Intermittent failure when connecting to local MySQL > db? > > I have a php script that is connecting to a database on the same machine. > It > will connect and work fine sometimes but about half the time it will fail > to > connect?
