OK... sorry for the delay on this one. I finally got to check out yur
test script. Here were the issues:
#1 even if the script was 100% correct (which it would be given certain
variables in config) I had not given user nobody access to the linuxkb DB.
nobody now has select, insert, update, and delete perms though I think we
want to change this eventually and impliment a layer of security there...
fine now though for initial testing, I'll post my thoughts on that later.
#2 changes I made to the script to get it to work are available at
http://www.linuxkb.org/~jpincin/test.phps
old script was http://www.linuxkb.org/~micah/test.phps
working script is http://www.linuxkb.org/~jpincin/test.php
on the pconnect line I changed the host to localhost as thats the only
host I gave user nobody access from.
DB field names are case-sensative, I changed all instances of fname to
FName.
The database had to be selected. I did this with the following line:
$selecteddb = mysql_select_db("linuxkb", $conn)
After that, all was right in the world.
