Question

I have this query:

mysql_select_db('scanner');
$query = "SELECT * FROM scanner.proxy ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 20";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

it tells me:’scanner.proxy ‘ doesnt exist.. even though I do have it the table with the database. It is weird, cause my other queries work..but this one doesnt.

UPADTE:

Event when I put this:

$user='root';
            $user='root'
        $password='<removed_password>';
        $dbname = 'scanner';
        $host = 'localhost';
        $link = mysql_connect($host, $user, $password) or die (mysql_error());

mysql_select_db($dbname, $link) or die (mysql_error());

it gives me this…

Unknown database ‘scanner’

But I can see the scanner database in the phpmyadmin

Even when I type in phpmyadmin the sql statement
SHOW TABLES FROM ‘scanner’

it says it cant find scanner

Answer 1

make sure the user you use to connect has enough rights to query that table. Perhaps that table was created by another user.

EDIT: Perhaps you need to grant access to scanner from a remote location. Running this sholud help on that.

GRANT ALL ON scanner.* TO your_user@'IP_ofServer_where_PHP_runs' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD';
