Thanks Ash

Where do I find the PHP mysql module? I have uncommented both the extensions php-mysql.dll and php-mysqli.dll; do I need to do more?

Thanks

Have you installed the php mysql module? Basically, it tells php how to connect to mysql.

This question has come up a few times this week, have you tried installing something like xampp or easyphp rather than the individual software components: Apache, php & mysql.

Thanks,
Ash

To: <php-general(a)lists.php.net>

I am running PHP 5.3.3, with Apache 2.0 Handler and MySql Server 5.1. My OS is Vista Home Premium 32 bit with SP2.

MySql works fine from the command prompt, Apache is running and PHP works. But I cannot access the mysqli classes. This simple program:

<?php

$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "root", "######", "testDB"); #I've deliberately obliterated the password

if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
} else {
printf("Host information: %s\n", mysqli_get_host_info($mysqli));
}
?>

produces this error message:

Warning: mysqli::mysqli() [mysqli.mysqli]: [2002] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not (trying to connect via tcp://localhost:3306) in C:\Apache\htdocs\mysqlconnect.php on line 3

Warning: mysqli::mysqli() [mysqli.mysqli]: (HY000/2002): A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. in C:\Apache\htdocs\mysqlconnect.php on line 3

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\Apache\htdocs\mysqlconnect.php on line 3

I guess PHP cannot find the mysqli classes. I've checked the phpinfo() output and discovered :

Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\Windows
Loaded Configuration File C:\PHP\php.ini


I don't know if this ok. I've tried changing the location of the loaded file to C:\Windows\php.ini, but to no avail, and I don't know how to change the location of the config file.

I am obviously doing something wrong, but I don't know what. Can anyone help?

Ironically, everything worked perfectly before I upgraded to PHP 5.3.3!

Also, did you configure the windows firewall to allow connections into the MySQL server?

Jason:
if you're using it via localhost, does the firewall come into play here?

All:
Also, the BIND-ADDRESS in the my.cnf, it may not be set properly
(usually they say to comment that line out)

Hello,

remember that for windows, you must also copy the library (libmysql.dll) to
window's system32 directory in addition to un-commenting the
extension=php_mysql.dll line in php.ini. Also, just in case, ensure that
php.ini also has the proper extension directory set, typically c:\php\ext
but depends on where you installed php.
