On some occasions I need to connect to a second and third database in the same script (maybe 5% of scripts have at least a second connection). Usually I would just select the new database. However, my host requires different users to be created for each database. What is the best way to do this? Close current connection (say db1) and open new (say db2) OR keep all open, creating 2nd and 3rd connections. I am happy with the design of my database, and don't want to merge all these tables into one db. Overall I am still happy with my host, so I'd rather not change. how do I use a connection file (connection.php) in multiple programs? I think include? Hi, I am currently trying to build an Artist's website, the artist wanted a CMS that was completely customized to the site (so no Wordpress, Joomla, Drupel, etc) - because of this I am having to create a CMS completely from scratch.
The problem I am having is with the database connection (hence the topic title), other sites that I have built with this same code work fine - however this particular site does not seem to want to play ball. It keeps giving me this error:
SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'web113-janesart'@'10.0.44.113' (using password: YES)I have tried obvious things such as spelling mistakes, wrong password/username/db name, nothing seems to get rid of this error. Any help on what else this could be would be appreciated. I get the following error when trying to connect Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to MySQL server on '72.18.129.104' (10061) in C:\Domains\crysvis.com\wwwroot\include\dbConnectAndSelect.php on line 8 Here's the code $host = "72.18.129.104"; $user = "deltron"; $pass = "masterconn"; $db = "customers"; $conn = mysql_connect("$host","$user","$pass"); if(!$conn) errorHandler("Msg 10:\nCould not connect to database with $host,$user,$pass in ". $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]."\nCustId = $CustId\nmysql_error() = ".mysql_error()); if(!mysql_select_db("$db",$conn)) errorHandler("Msg 11:\nCould not select db=$db in ". $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]."\nCustId=$CustId\nmysql_error() = ".mysql_error()); ?> What am I doing wrong? Any help will be appreciated Dear friends i,m a php beginner and i got a problem with connecting to my database i created a database called (koora) with one table called (admins) and when i tried to connect to it (database ) ; it did not connect here is the code i used for that <?php $connectdb = mysql_connect('localhost','','') or die("not connected"); $selectdb = mysql_select_db("koora", $connectdb); if(!$selectdb) { die("error connecting table" .mysql_error()); } then when refreshing my phpmyadmin page i got that message error connecting tableAccess denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'koora' koora is the name of the database so i need your help with this problem and what is the reason not to connect to the data base Thank you Hi, For school, I need to build a site and this site has to have a few applications. One of the applications, I have to make is to make a script that makes it possible to upload a file and it has to put this file in a online database. Now, I'm just trying to put it in a local database. My code doesn't give an error, but it doesn't work either. The file doesn't get into the database. I can't figure out why. I hope you can help me? Thanks in advance! Lize I'm connecting to my database using the following... @ $db = new mysqli('host', 'username', 'password', 'database') The .php file that is connecting to the database is in my root (htdocs) folder on the server. I know that I am not supposed to put my actual 'host', 'username', 'password', 'database' inside the mysqli function for security purposes. I know that I am supposed to put variables in instead. But here is where I am confused. Where do I set those variables? Do I set them in another file and include that file? If so, where do I store the file that holds the passwords, and what prevents a hacker from simply navigating to that file? Thanks for the help Hey,
I'm really new to PHP and having some difficulties with $_SESSION and getting userid from the database. I've managed to put content to my database and also a login script. Though, adding sessions has been a pain. Here's what I got so far:
$sql = "SELECT username, password FROM users WHERE username = '$username' and password = '$pas'";
$query_login = $db->prepare($sql);
$query_login->execute(array('userid' => $userid, 'username' => $username, 'password' => $pas));
$result = $query_login->rowcount();
if ($result>0)
{
session_start();
$_SESSION['username'] = $username;
$_SESSION['logged'] = 1;
$_SESSION['userid'] = $result['userid'];
header('Location: ../user/user.php');
}
Hello guys. Trying to connect php with mysql database and then display results on the screen. This is my code: Code: [Select] <?php $dbhost = "localhost"; $dbuser = "username1"; $dbpass = "password1"; $db = "username1_myDB"; $connection = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ("Could not connect"); mysql_select_db($connection, $db); $show = "SELECT Name, Description FROM people"; $result = mysql_query($show); while($show = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ $field01 = $show[Name]; $field02 = $show[Description]; echo "id: $field01<br>"; echo "description: $field02<p>"; } ?> However im getting this: Warning: mysql_select_db() expects parameter 1 to be string, resource given in /home/pain33/public_html/index.php on line 20 Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/pain33/public_html/index.php on line 26 Any ideas how to fix this? Thank you. The Script:
pdo_connect.php:
<?php $dsn = "mysql:host=localhost;dbname=2354"; $db = new PDO($dsn, "root", ""); ?>pdo_test.php:

I have just watched a tutorial and tried out this script. The issue is that I am getting the following notice alongside with the error message:
Notice: Undefined variable: db in C:\xampp\htdocs\oophp\pdo_test.php on line 18 SQLSTATE[HY000] [1049] Unknown database '2354'By the way this notice does happen in the tutorial as well. My question is: How to have this in ways, where the notice does not occur? Through out my program I have used global $mysqli; as a connection to my database - this has worked fine so far. Now I have called $sql_statement = "SELECT * FROM items WHERE name='$itemName'"; $itemStats = mysqli_fetch_array(mysqli_query($mysqli, $sql_statement), MYSQLI_ASSOC); via a function and I get the following warnings - Quote Warning: mysqli_query() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, null given in /functions/getdata.php on line 27 Warning: mysqli_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, null given in /functions/getdata.php on line 27 it still works though and returns the correct information. If I take the code out of the function and use it normally then I get no Warnings - but this defeats the whole purpose of having functions! How do I get rid of the warnings? (and no, I don't mean turn the warnings off ) Hi guys, When you open a database connection, how long does it stay open for? I have a "Change E-mail Address" script that has 4 queries in it, and I just realized that I don't create a DB Connection until Query #2 in my script, yet things work fine?! Is it possible that the DB Connection was opened earlier by another script and it is just persisting?? Debbie Thanks for reading this. I have just begun using php, and I cannot, for my life, figure out what I am doing wrong here. I want to submit a form for a person to register with my site. It's simple, just name, email and password. I keep getting an error that the connection failed, so I will just show you what I have up until that point. My form is Post method, and it looks like: Code: [Select] <form method="post" action="signup.php" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input name="name" type="text" id="name"> <input name="email" type="text" id="email"> <input name="pass" type="password"> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> </form> And the connection script is like so: Code: [Select] <?php $username="db_username"; $password="db_password"; $database="db_name"; $dbc=mysql_connect ("localhost", "$username", "$password") or die ('I cannot connect to the database.'); mysql_select_db ("$database", "$dbc"); It's the 'I cannot connect to the database.' error that I keep getting. In case it helps, the rest of the thing looks like this: Code: [Select] <?php $name= $_POST['name']; $email= $_POST['email']; $pass= $_POST['pass']; $query = "INSERT INTO table (name, email, password) VALUES ('$name', '$email', '$pass')"; mysql_query($query); mysql_close(); I have deliberately left out the php opening and closing tags (<?php...?>). Thanks so much for any help. Adam MOD EDIT: [code] . . . [/code] BBCode tags added. Hi all. I was looking through some old code and found some pages for a year or so back. In one of the pages there are a couple of SQL queries run from within the while loop of another query. I had to do this mainly because the first query is a SELECT query that is run against an MS SQL Server on what I will reffer to as "Host_A", and the queries run from within the while loop of this result set are running INSERTs agains a MySQL Server that I'm going to call "Host_B". Now Host_A and Host_B are two different physical servers, Host_A was WinServer 2003 and Host_B was CentOS Linux distro' (used as web front end due to the owners only having 5CAL's for the WinServer). Both are on the same network (not that I think that makes a difference). I just got to wondering - As I'm not a fan of querying within a query in this nature - Is it actualy possable to code a connection to both Host_A and Host_B simultaneously running a single query using both types of DB server? -- I assume "not at all" will be the answer, given that mssql_query() and mysql_query() are different commands. Just thought I would ask the question on the off chance that someone knows of a way (in case I ever come accross this type of scenario again...I like to prepare for the worst ) Let me know your thoughts. Cheers. Hey guys. Wondering if you people could give me some help on a procedural problem i am having. I want to display information from a database. What i am hoping to do is process all of the query and connection in the background. He is how i am doing this. there is a form that submits to the process page with post variables. and in that page there is a few switch statements that change the query and based on that change forwards them to a different page to display the result but the connection and variable name are not being forwarded so the table never gets processed. It is all done in an if statement and switch statemenst any ideas on how to do this properly. I think i am just confused on the procedure of it all. I was wondering what the users at phpfreaks recommend as far as persistent database connections. Is it better to save the connection, or to open up a new connection for each page? Also, how would you have a persistent connection? |
