Yup. Confusing that the base extension is PDO, but the drivers are lowercase like pdo_mysql for example. I see what's going on now. > 2.

You plan on connecting to MySQL, but don't appear to have loaded > pdo_mysql.so anywhere. So you need to fix that. I didn't realize I had to build pdo_mysql.so seperately. Thanks. In the manual where it says "The following drivers currently implement the PDO interface:" made me thing I got them all when I built PDO. Now that I got all that worked out MySQL refuses my dsn string: Connection failed: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2003] Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (111) I can connect using this user and password using the mysql command line client with no problems. I have other PHP scripts connecting successfully with this user as well. See any problems with this code? $dsn = 'mysql:host=127.0.0.1;dbname=test'; $user = 'root'; $password = 'changeme'; try { $dbh = new PDO( $dsn, $user, $password ); } catch( PDOException $e ) { echo 'Connection failed: ' . $e->getMessage() . "\n"; } My MySQL user works otherwise: > mysql -uroot -p Enter password: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 2 to server version: 4.0.24 Type 'help;' or '\h' for help.
