yes, thank you so much for that. i went through the steps and i think what i forgot to do for 'someuser' account was to FLUSH PRIVILEGES; i do not know why mysql does not do it automatically, iassume FLUSH PRIVILEGES is like a COMMIT in transaction management, but that is life i guess.

did that and now i have a new error: Warning: mysqli_connect(): (28000/1045): Access denied for user 'someuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in C:\Study\PHP\test.php on line 10 Could not connect to mySQL: Access denied for user 'someuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES) is it php.ini related? thank you

how are you? i have the following problem and i was wondering if anyone could help. i installed php (Zend) with Oracle support and then decided to use mySQL. here is an error that i got after trying to connect to mySQL DB: ========= Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysqli_connect() in C:\Study\PHP\test.php on line 10 i did read PHP Installation manual which addresses this issue at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.installation.php and i inserted the line below into my php.ini file: ========== extension_dir = C:\Program Files\Zend\Core For Oracle\lib\phpext after all of that i still get the same error. is there anything else i am supposed to do with php.ini file and/or other config. files? thank you
