  1. Ya, i connect via phpMyAdmin. When you change a password it has an option to use 4.1+ password hashing which is a larger hash than previous versions used. And below entering your password you hit generate to generate a random string. I was under the impression that was a necessary step and was generated in correspondence to the password you entered. When i tried again without generating this string, i was able to connect with my standard password. Was a simple user error on an assumption i made. Thanks
  2. I retract my question. Apparently hashing the password is an option and not necessarily required as i thought it was. Thanks
  3. Yes the password to access the database. However you don't get to choose how long or what it is in 4.1+ compatability. You type in your password then hit "generate" which gives you a string of random letters, which is now your database password. Before doing this (when using my standard chosen password), PHP refused to connect with it until the password was updated to the new method. I'm just not fully convinced that i need to have that string of randomness saved in a file with hopes i never lose it...
  4. I will pretense this with: I have not lost my password. However, using 4.1+ requires the use of a hashed password. My question, is if i should misplace this long string of random letters and numbers, how would i go about recovering it? It seems a bit inconvenient to require a 10+ character string of random letters to log in. I just wanted to get my answer before the event occurs (which it likely will at some point, with one of my databases). Any advice or pointers on what im missing would be great
  5. Ok, so fairly straight forward. I was very advanced with PHP. However, with the job market in the area i lived, i was absolutely unable to find a job in php. This was about 4 years ago. Since then i have not touched it in any way. I have since moved and now want to relearn it. I know it wouldn't take long to get back to where i was, i just can't think of the best course of action in order to relearn. So i suppose my question is, does anyone who know of a good way to go about doing this? I sped my way back into HTML/CSS but obviously that stuff is stupidly easy. Are there any project recommendations or relearning tutorials anyone is aware of? Im certain a lot has changed since, so relearning it how i learned it the first time would be obsolete (one thing i know about as far as changes is stuff like database connections using mysqli rather than mysql functions). Any pointers would be very helpful
  6. To add to it, i have searched through the script looking for all variable arrays to get the col names but again its just a pain to figure out which table the col name is associated with etc, or telling if i have them all. Im just hoping someone has had this problem before or has an idea of how to go about rebuilding it.
  7. I recently had a server crash happen to my hosting website where all data was lost. I had backups of all my websites, however there was one database i did not have backed up. The data is not as important to me as the schema is. I still obviously have all the php files associated with it with all the select/insert queries. I was wondering if there was an easy way to rebuild the schema (table and col names is all i need) based off the queries used. Ive tried going through the scripts by hand but it's a LOT of script and i can't seem to tell if i have all col's accounted for or how to tell what they were.
