doloreel Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 First of all i'm new to this. the mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '') always seems to run even when the values are wrong. I assume that something is wrong here? I am running MAMP.

mac_gyver Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 the mysql_connect() statement will always run (assuming the function is defined.) if the connection fails, the function call will return a false value to the calling code. do you have any logic in your code to test if that function returns a false value?

doloreel Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 this is my code now, it just returns 'could not connect' although phpmyadmin is running and i have input everything correctly. any ideas? <?php if (!@mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '') || !@mysql_select_db('a_database')) { die('could not connect'); } ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/277432-mysql_connect-function-not-responding/#findComment-1427210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_gyver Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 echoing mysql_error() or using mysql_error() in the die() statement will tell you why the connect/select_db statement is failing.
