Topic: Mysql connect issue from one script but not others..

[Jfisher]

Just throwing this out to see if anyone might have an answer.
I have a simple include file for the standard Mysql connection.

I can access the database / tables with all other scripts fine with the exception of one, and I get this error when checking a query from an insert.

Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

I have looked up the error but have found nothing that seems to be the problem. I have phpmyadmin working fine aswell as a few phpbb forums.

Also a few of my own wip web apps are working also using this same included connect below, edited of course with the right info.

I'm open for any ideas.

My connect script looks like:

$some_guest = @mysql_pconnect('.', 'some_guest', 'some_guest');
if (!$some_guest){
exit ('User guest is unable to log in.');
}

mysql_select_db("this_general_db") or
die ("ERROR: unable to connect to database");

Sure that the script is executed? Maybe some issue with short php tags.
Run your include file alone, remove the @ so that you can see if there is an error. You also could add error_reporting(E_ALL); in the first line to see more debugging information.

Improve your errorhandling
