horaliar Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I'm totally new to the php and mysql world. I just downloaded the required software to start learning and I have a bit of a problem. I don't have a server and I installed MySQL on my machine and I've found on several tutorials that a persistent database conection is required in order to complete such tutorial. How can I create this type of conection? Another thing, I'm not so sure if I installed MySQL correctly, when I log in, I'm not asked for a username, only for a password. Help! Thanks!

zq29 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 If its only asking you for a password, you have not set up any additional accounts, and as such it is auto logging you into root - I guess.You can open a persistant connection with mysql_pconnect() - Check the PHP manual for more info.

My problem was solved and you are completely right, I haven't set up any accounts so that's why it automatically logs me in as root only. Thanks!
