note 98799 added to function.mysql-connect

This script works most of the time BUT if the password contains $ it doesn't work: $db_location = "localhost"; $db_username = "username"; $db_password = "pa$sword"; $db_name = "00000001050_a"; $link_id = mysql_connect ($db_location,$db_username,$db_password) or die ("Could not connect: " . mysql_error()); It took me a while to realize that I have to use ' instead of " for it to work $db_password = "pa$sword"; didn't work $db_password = 'pa$sword'; worked ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 188.25.9.123 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/98799 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98799/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98799/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98799/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98799/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98799/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98799/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98799 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/98799 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
