Newbie question and OT. Sorry.
I am able to conncet to a mysql server with the following call to
mysql_connect().
$connect=@mysql_connect("","","");
There are no parameters in the function call.
Why can I connect if there are no parameters?
However, if I give mysqladmin the password of:
goodpassword
and call:
$connect=@mysql_connect("localhost","root","goodpassword");
I connect.
But if I call:
$connect=@mysql_connect("localhost","root","badpassword");
I cannot connect.
Or from the command line...
>From the command line:
C:\Windows\cd c:\mysql\bin \\enter
C:\mysql\bin> mysqld-shareware --standalone \\enter
C:\mysql\bin> mysql \\enter note: no password have been entered.
\\ I get the: Welcome to the MySql monitor...
...............................
Or...
C:\Windows\cd c:\mysql\bin \\enter
C:\mysql\bin> mysqld-shareware --standalone \\enter
C:\mysql\bin> mysql -u root - p \\ enter
Enter password goodpassword \\ I get the: Welcome to the MySql monitor...
............................
C:\Windows\cd c:\mysql\bin \\enter
C:\mysql\bin> mysqld-shareware --standalone \\enter
C:\mysql\bin> mysql -u root - p \\ enter
Enter password badpassword \\ I do _not_ get the: Welcome to the MySql
monitor...
........................
Why is this when I thought it needs a password to connect to the MySql
monitor?
Thanks,
TR
