So, I have a web-coder friend who's a bit of a newbie and won't share her code with me to debug but she gladly gave other bits of info. and expects me to find a solution.
So, her problem, after I spent about an hour talking to her is this:
She just started mysqli but she knows mysql. Normally, this works:
connection.php
database.php
database includes connection and can then connect to the DB with hostname and whatnot and perform MySQL operations.
But in her case, it always failed.
Warning: mysqli::mysqli() [mysqli.mysqli]: (28000/1045): Access denied for user 'SOMEHOST'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in
SOMEFILE SOMELINE
After a long time tinkering, she got it to work by changing:
$hostname = 'blah';
to:
define('DB_HOST', 'blah');
and just connecting using DB_HOST when using mysqli which worked for her.
Thing is, I've never encountered this before. Anyone here know why this works or what her possible problem could be?
