radagast Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Good Day Please could someone be so gracious as to help me with the following problem. I am wanting to update a MYSQL database from a Firebird database. I have tested connecting to both databases individually which works fine, it is just when I put the code together it does not work. Below is the code //Firstly I connect to the MYSQL database to see what needs to updated mysql_connect("localhost", "database", "password") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("database") or die(mysql_error()); $check = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE blah != ''"; $result = mysql_query($check) or die ("Error in query: $check. " . mysql_error()); if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) { while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) { $blah = $row->blah; // Then I connect to the Firebird database to get the info $dsndb = 'host'; $userdb = 'user'; $passdb = 'password'; try { $dbh = new PDO($dsndb, $userdb, $passdb); $sth = ("SELECT * from table WHERE blah = '$blah'"); foreach ($dbh->query($sth) as $row) { //Then I update the MYSQL database from the Firebird database info $sql = "UPDATE table SET field1 = 'field1', field2 = 'field2', field3 = 'field3' WHERE blah = '$blah'"; $update=mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()); } } } } Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Solution jazzman1 Posted August 19, 2014 Solution Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) Try to use PDO only - next works for me. I'm not sure whether it's possible to use two different database libraries on the same document event the drivers are connecting to the same db server....turn php errors on checkout for actual errors. <?php ini_set('display_startup_errors',1); ini_set('display_errors',1); error_reporting(-1); $user = 'SYSDBA'; $pass = 'masterdba'; $dbh = new PDO("firebird:dbname=127.0.0.1:/var/firebirddata/new.fdb;charset=utf8", $user, $pass); $dbh->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); $username = 'lxc'; $password = 'password'; $dbh1 = new PDO('mysql:dbname=test;host=::1;charset=utf8', $username, $password); $dbh1->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); Don't use mysql library for new development.
