[SOLVED] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'

[dachshund]

with this

 

 

<?php

				$id=mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']);

				if ($id != (int)$id) {
				    echo "Invalid ID";
				} else {
    					$sql = "UPDATE content SET views=views+1 WHERE id='$id'";
    					mysql_query($sql) or die (mysql_error());


    					$sql="SELECT * FROM content WHERE id='$id'";
    					$result = mysql_query($sql) or die (mysql_error());
    					$rows=mysql_fetch_array($result);
				}

				?>

 

anyone know why this might be?

Where's your connect script?

[dachshund]

this

<?php
   session_start();
   
   $connect= mysql_connect ("blah", "blah", "blah") or die(mysql_error());
   $db = mysql_select_db ("blah", $connect);
   
   $session_name = $_SESSION['uid'];
   
   
?>

It smells a bit that your mysql server is not running properly or not at all or it could be permissions issue. Also if you are connecting locally tou can try changing the host you connect from localhost to 127.0.0.1
