Hi All,
I have MySQL, PHP, and Apache installed using windows XP professional.
I am able to use the MySQL Query Browser and create DBs, tables,
populate with data, etc.
I am able to create files using php and view in a browser. I have
tried the beginning tutorial and some others from the php manual to
include using the phpinfo() function. This function list the
configuration file (php.ini) at c:\windows. The file is not in this
directory but is in the c:\php directory. The c:\php directory is also
in the PATH. Why is the information not showing correctly in the
webpage when phpinfo() is called?
The extension_dir is also listed as c:\php5 when it is actually at
c:\php\ext. Where is the function phpinfo() getting this information?
Next problem - mysql connection
I am trying to get a db connection to mysql and show table data in a
webpage. I am using an example in the manual off the php website. This
is the code from the manual:
<?php
// Connecting, selecting database
$link = mysql_connect('localhost:3306', 'root', 'mysql')
or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_select_db('flms') or die('Could not select database');
// Performing SQL query
$query = 'SELECT * FROM allow';
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error());
// Printing results in HTML
echo "<table>\n";
while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
echo "\t<tr>\n";
foreach ($line as $col_value) {
echo "\t\t<td>$col_value</td>\n";
}
echo "\t</tr>\n";
}
echo "</table>\n";
// Free resultset
mysql_free_result($result);
// Closing connection
mysql_close($link);
?>
The webpage executes everything before this code trying to access the
DB. I suspect it has something to do with the install and whether some
files have visibility. I do not receive any sort of error on the
screen. I am able to use mysql query browser to access the db with no
problems.
My php install is the latest off the website and it is unzipped to
c:\php directory. Does anyone have any ideas why the above code is not
working for me?
Thanks,
Bob
