Re: mysql_connect noob question

Sorry. The error displayed is: *Warning*: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect <http://localhost/wservices/function.mysql-connect>]: Access denied for user '<user>'@'ip70-162-142-180.ph.ph.cox.net' (using password: YES) in */Library/WebServer/Documents/wservices/connect.php* on line *29* (But with the real user name, not just '<user>') Thanks, On 4/19/13 3:28 PM, tamouse mailing lists wrote:

I know this has probably been answered already. When I pass a user name and password from a form to my PHP script and then pass those to mysql_connect it doesn't connect. When I paste those exact same values into mysql_connect as string literals it works. Can anyone tell me why this happens? I know the strings are identical to the literals I try in a test but they don't work when submitted via form. $form_user = $_POST[ 'user' ]; $form_pass = $_POST[ 'password' ]; # Connect to remote DB $LINK = mysql_connect( $host, $form_user, $form_pass );

Please show the error you are getting from the mysql_connect

And yes, my $host param is correct. Thanks, -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
