[PHP-DEV] Bug #13466 Updated: Errors when using variables as the host parameter From: neil.walker <email protected>
Date: 09/27/01

Bug Type: MySQL related
Operating System:
PHP Version: 4.0.6
New Comment:

If I do:

$user="frank";
$pwd="skinner";
$db="db.cp-productions.f2s.com:walkern";

The following works fine:
$conn = mysql_connect("db.cp-productions.f2s.com:walkern", $user, $pwd);

If I do:
$conn = mysql_connect($db, $user, $pwd);

The following error occurs:
Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in
/web/sites/253/walkern/www.cp-productions.f2s.com/inc/news.php

I think it's something to do with the ':walkern' bit. It works ok on my other site where
I have $db="localhost".

I've tried putting it in quotes, etc.

I have tried it on a 4.06 and a 4.01 build (different ISP's) and both do the same.

Neil.
