PHP install HELP!!!

[rob62]

Being with GoDaddy is a pain!

I can not use localhost or mydomain.com for $dbhost

 

For $hostname I need p41mysql9.secureserver.net/home/content/l/i/b/libby86/html";

 

Below is a install script which I need to add a path statement.

 

Can a path statement be added for    /home/content/l/i/b/libby86/html  ?????? ???

 

<php?

'/usr/local/mysql-4.0/data/mysql.sock'

$hostname="p41mysql9.secureserver.net";

$username="PHP_script";

$password="******";

$dbname="PHP_mailsript";

mysql_connect($hostname,$username, $password);

mysql_select_db($dbname);

 

# Check If Record Exists

 

$query = "SELECT * FROM $usertable";

 

$result = mysql_query($query);

 

if($result)

{

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

{

$name = $row["$yourfield"];

echo "Name: ".$name."

";

}

}

?>

 

 

Thanks for all who help.

Your question makes little sense... what exactly is it you want to do?

 

PS: In future, I wouldn't go posting your database passwords in public forums.

Thanks for responding.

 

That is not my password!!

 

Normal web servers use "localhost" or "mydomain.com" for $dbhost.

 

GoDaddy's  is $dbhost="p41mysql9.secureserver.net"; and requires a path attached to it "/home/content/l/i/b/libby86/html"

 

Can a  line of script be written in the line after $dbhost"  " 

showing the path  "/home/content/l/i/b/libby86/html"  ??? ??? ???

 

"/home/content/l/i/b/libby86/html"  is where my databases are

?

 

$dbhost="p41mysql9.secureserver.net/home/content/l/i/b/libby86/html";

Thanks for responding

 

$dbhost does not accept anything beyond  the domain "p41mysql9.secureserver.net"

It faults out.

 

That is why I need to add a line of script for the path, if possible. ??? ???

 

Try running the script with $dbhost="p41mysql9.secureserver.net/home/content/l/i/b/libby86/html";

 

It should fault out before getting to the password.

$dbhost="p41mysql9.secureserver.net/home/content/l/i/b/libby86/html";

Adding the path onto dbhost does not work.

 

Any program I want to install must allow me to add a path: /home/content/l/i/b/libby86/html :(

 

I have asked on another board if there is a line of script I could add indicating the path.  No luck!

 

I think with Godaddy the path indicated is my root on shared hosting.

Don't know for sure as I am a NEWBIE

 

I thank everyone for offering help.

 

Godaddy neglected to tell me that geeklog is on their site for installation.

 

It is up and running. :D

As I said in my initial reply, your question is not at all clear. server can be the path to a local socket, so, if thats what your looking to do, where is this socket located?
