Re: why mysql_connect crashes in Windows

Hi John, John> Here is a bit of advice for those of you trying to use MYSQL with PHP4 (cgi John> and it was VERY FRUSTRATING because I could not discover the problem. John> Finally I decided it must be a thread-safety problem, so I added a John> sleep(2); just before mysql_connect() and the PROBLEM IS GONE!!! AHHHHHHHHHH =). I had that problem, too. It happened just one day before I had to finish a big script, and there was one feature to be added. After 3 hours of searching, I "solved" this problem by installing Apache... But it happened only since I had updated from PHP 4.0 to 4.0.4pl1 ... Thanx ;-) ----------------------- EnjoY, Adaran (vielmailer@adaran.net) check http://www.adaran.net
