[PHP3] From ODBC to MySQL, somebody help? From: Paulo Eduardo Azevedo Silveira (peas <email protected>)
Date: 08/31/99

Hi...
I am used in working with ODBC DSN names with PHP, now I am studying
MySQL, but only with online manuals (kinf of hard), so can someone tell me
the difference? :
In ODBC, we have the DSN that allows you have a name for one database,
like DSN "x" is c:\example\test.mdb... so I use X in the odbc_connect,
like:
$id=odbc_connect("x",USER, PASS);
but with mysql, the example that I ve read, says:
$id=mysql_connect(localhost,...
localhost???? What does it mean? I can only have one database? I dont
understand... Or all tables always stay together? The problem is that I
dont have a machine running linux to start learning better...
Thanks
paulo
