Does anyone now any decent sites that offer free web space with php and a mysql i know that tripod.co.uk does but they’re mysql dosen’t work.i also know that breezeland does but they just aren’y working at all.
hmmmm…
mySQL on tripod.uk works for me.
You only get one database - for me it’s “phlipping_uk_db” because my username is phlipping.
$db = mysql_connect("localhost","username","password")
or die ("Could not connect to MySQL");
mysql_select_db("username_uk_db",$db);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table", $db)
or die ("Could not 'SELECT * from table'");
etc
What happened was that me and lightning spent five hours setting up phpbb on the tripod.co.uk because first of all we were on tripod.com then we found tripod.co.uk. but the we couldn’t get the FTP thing to work so we had to upload all 299 files with their crappy program. Then we got an error saying access denied when we opened up the mysql database. We looked at the php4u forum and someone else had had the same problem. The advice was to deactivate php4u then reactivate it again which we did and it worked yeah. We set up our forum and it worked (except for the mail function but I know why). Then I came back yesterday and the page had this on it:
Bugger. Then I went into the mysql db to see WTF was going on and it had the access denied error again. I deactivatedit then reactivated it again about 10 times but it still didn’t work :x
Please help
I dunno what’s wrong - it worked first time for me and hasn’t died yet…
As for the FTP, you know that you have a seperate pwd for the web and for ftp, don’t you? That stumped me for a bit - i kept trying the wrong pwd…
it wasn’t that it was that on my browser i had to change it to passive FTP.
