Re: A prob with a module maybe??

Hey Toby, So far I decided to drop the ball on that code as something was really weired in it. The part of the code it is failing on, shouldn't even be executing as it is set to a 'mysql' type. I just decided to kick out the rest of the code which is suppose to be working with the other databases (it would have been nice to have,.but since I'm gonna be working with mysql anyhow,.. there is no need to stay and ponder on the "why it doesn't work" since it won't matter going forwared). Now for the reason of the double ext. The php parser will provide an additional 'security' by parsing any file it finds with a .php . So,.. I do include statements of the files with the php and hide the config files from outside users. (they really don't need to know the database name, password etc). Thanks for your help. -Alon. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Toby z" <blue_myth_1@yahoo.com> Newsgroups: php.windows To: "Alon Solell" <js@wsco.com>; <php-windows@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2003 12:30 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] A prob with a module maybe?? > hay alon > > a shot in the dark > > try to replace " by ' for ur variables > > > mmmm a thing i cant get is > >c:\localhost\treeview\Config\php-dbi.inc.php > > whatz with php-dbi.inc.php ????? > how come the file has tow extensionz :S > or am i too dammed ignorent at this ????? :S > > > good luck > > toby > > > --- Alon Solell <js@wsco.com> wrote: > I just finished install and > run of PHP and Apache on WinXP. > > I have a script that runs clean on a Linux already configured > > system (my hosting provider) and I tried to ran the same > > script on my local machine.
