RE: [PHP] mysql_connect does not connect

[snip] I definitely mind. I don't believe in rewarding bad behavior. It is reasonable to contribute to the productive development of solutions, but the attitude in this group is not productive. I have the impression that the real reason you want answers is so that you can continue in unproductive directions. [/snip] Sam, You have nmentioned the word 'insistance' many times in this thread, and the only one I found to be obstinate about things is you. Continue in unproductive directions? What is that about, sport? Rewarding bad behavior? Regardless of the fact that there might be several who could benefit from the solution (who had nothing to do with the folks you are so against right now) you are now the one exercizing unproductive behavior.
