Re: Reinstalled MySQL: PHP doesn't see databases

[Leo Gil]

Jules,

What is the output of your phpinfo(); ? Does is show the MySQL API ?

What do you mean about can't see the database?

About the error checking you could use the mysql_error() function:

$connection = mysql_pconnect("$host", "$user", "$pw");
$dbname = mysql_select_db("dbname", $connection);

if (!$connection) {
echo mysql_error($connection);
}
if (!$dbname) {
echo mysql_error($dbname);
}

If you don't have any errors, your connection from PHP to MySQL should be working fine, you may have other problems on your code.

Best regards

Leo
