Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #5955: There is no way to query a MySQL server from PHP when there are no databases

The following script works for me: mysql_connect($HOST,$USER,$PASS); $res = mysql_query("SELECT VERSION()"); print mysql_result($res, 0, 0); Regards, Stefan ----- Original Message ----- From: <mlemos@acm.org> To: <php-dev@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, August 04, 2000 8:22 AM Subject: [PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #5955: There is no way to query a MySQL server from PHP when there are no databases > From: mlemos@acm.org > Operating system: Linux RH 6 > PHP version: 4.0 Latest CVS (04/08/2000) > PHP Bug Type: MySQL related > Bug description: There is no way to query a MySQL server from PHP when there are no databases > > PHP MySQL API seems to only let queries be executed if you select a > database first.
