ID: 13466 Updated by: sniper Reported By: neil.walker@syntegra.com Old Status: Open Status: Bogus Bug Type: MySQL related Operating System: PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: RTFM: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php The 'walkern' part is assumed to be port/unix socket path. --Jani Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-09-27 08:25:10] neil.walker@syntegra.com If I do: $user="frank"; $pwd="skinner"; $db="db.cp-productions.f2s.com:walkern"; The following works fine: $conn = mysql_connect("db.cp-productions.f2s.com:walkern", $user, $pwd); If I do: $conn = mysql_connect($db, $user, $pwd); The following error occurs: Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /web/sites/253/walkern/www.cp-productions.f2s.com/inc/news.php I think it's something to do with the ':walkern' bit. It works ok on my other site where I have $db="localhost". I've tried putting it in quotes, etc. I have tried it on a 4.06 and a 4.01 build (different ISP's) and both do the same.
