ID: 14137 User updated by: lenar@vision.ee Reported By: lenar@vision.ee Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Debian/Linux PHP Version: 4.0CVS-2001-11-20 New Comment: I just want to add that creating another mysql account is not an valid option sometimes (with hosting companies for example). Although yes, this will solve the problem.

THis is a valid report, but moving it to a feature request. Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-20 12:57:59] mfischer@php.net Mistake, should read "...you get the old link back..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-20 12:57:16] mfischer@php.net Not so fast .. This is definitely a problem when you try to connect to MySQL twice with the same incredentials (host,user,pass) you don't get the old link back and thus changing the database on one link obviously changes it on the other too ... Should be a Feature Request, note sure. A workaround is to create another user. Reopened. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-20 12:48:50] bate@php.net Ups sorry wrong links. :) http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-db-query.php --Marco Note: This function has been deprecated since PHP 4.0.6. Do not use this function. Use mysql_select_db() and mysql_query() instead. read the User comment's ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-20 12:34:58] bate@php.net bool mysql_select_db (string database_name, resource [link_identifier]) http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-select-db.php --Marco P.S.
