Hey everyone,
i'm trying to set up a PHP login using MySQL, i've never used MySQL and am finding it quite hard to workout. I'm using the script from this site (http://www.evolt.org/article/comment/17/60265/index.html) but setting up the mySQL db doesn't seem to work, it keeps saying "ERROR 1046 (3D000): No datebase selected" when i type in -
CREATE TABLE users (
username varchar(30),
password varchar(32));
I've got MySQL 5.0. If someone could give me a step by step gide to setting it up, and tell me what i need to change what to in this bit.
<?
/**
* Connect to the mysql database.
*/
$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "your_username", "your_password") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('your_database', $conn) or die(mysql_error());
?>
it would be much appreciated. :)

Did you already create the database?
And also, that mySQL code looks all messed up... try this:
No, i've just intaled MySQL other than that i haven't done much. I don't know how to create a database, or anything else. i've just tryed that amended code, and that doesn't seem to work ether... help...
p.s. thank for you quick reply.

OK. First you need to create the database so that you will have something to select. Here is the mySQL query that will create the database:
CREATE DATABASE `db_name`
Then, you should just have to run your CREATE TABLE code and change your PHP code and it should work!

I've created the database now :) CREATE DATABASE `db_login` that worked fine, but i still can't get the rest to work, can you check i'm doing it right?
this is how it looks.
mysql> CREATE DATABASE 'db_login'
-> CREATE TABLE 'users' (
-> 'username' varchar(30),
-> 'password' varchar(32)
-> ) TYPE=MyISAM;
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''db_l
ogin'
CREATE TABLE 'users' (
'username' varchar(30),
'password' varchar(32)' at line 1
thanks for your help. :)

After the CREATE DATABASE db_login // no quotes
You then have to change to the database..
USE db_login;
You should also have a Primary Key say user_id smallint(3) auto increment,

That worked! :)
Thanks!!!
Now do i just copy the db_login folder to my surver and change 'your_database' to 'db_login' in this script?
<?
/**
* Connect to the mysql database.
*/
$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "your_username", "your_password") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('your_database', $conn) or die(mysql_error());
?>

Well not knowing what your set up is, yes you can change the 'your_database' to db_login..This is what I would do...
I then copied the folder call db_login that contained 4 files (db.opt, users.frm, users.MYD and users.MYI) to my surver along with my 4 PHP files (database.php, login.php, logout.php and register.php)
database.php

I think the problem is in the main database.php, but if you see any other problems please point them out. :)

I have no idea what they are, did you make the changes in the database.php file? What error messages are you getting?
You have mySQL on your local machine? What server do you have? Is it running? Is PHP installed and have you tested all configurations?

Yeah i changed the database.php to how you do it.
[PHP DEFINE ('DB_USER', 'username');
DEFINE ('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
DEFINE ('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
DEFINE ('DB_NAME', 'db_login');
//conection to database established
$db=@mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME) OR Die ('Could not connect to MySql server ' . mysql_error());
// Change to the database name that you want
mysql_select_db(DB_NAME) OR Die ('Could not change to database: ' . mysql_error()); [/PHP]
and have loaded it on to one of my sites that is hosted by Streamline.
i'm now getting the error "Could not connect to MySql server Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)"

So you have uploaded your php scripts to a remote server, but mySQL is on your machine? Does Streamline have mySQL and PHP set up?

I think you might of hit the nail on the head there, my streamline account doesn't have MySQL set up. it has PHP but not MySQL. :(
Thanks for all your help!!! :)
