Yes I know that there are two versions of interfaces to MySQL and the newer version has the "i" in it. Perhaps I should use it, but I thought the older version works also. I am using mysql_connect because the tutorial I started using uses it. Obvioulsy mysql_connect is in php version 5 so it should work. So I hope no one thinks that my question has been answered. If there is something stating that mysql_connect is not supposed to be used then it would help to know where that is said. Otherwise it would help to know what to look for as possible causes, assuming that the host, user and password are correct. Also, are the warning messages documented? As I asked in my original question, is 10061 an error code?
