RE: [PHP-DB] newbie question

Yup, look at that, it says php-DB list! :) sarahana....you have to know where the admin has put mysql. Then you should be able to type in at the prompt: path/mysql databasename -u username -ppassword. So on my system it looks like: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql mydb_com -u myusername pmypassword there is no space between the -p and the password itself, but there IS one between the -u and the username. Maybe the mysql list would have been a better place, but there are people on this list who know mysql stuff, so don't be afraid to ask.
