Question

I’m trying to establish a connection to a mysql database using PEAR DB. It’s throwing the following error at me:

DB_Error Object (
[error_message_prefix] => [mode] => 1
[level] => 1024 [code] => -4
[message] => DB Error: not found
[userinfo] => Unable to include the
DB/dbxxxxx:[e-mail]/dbxxxxx_toomodern.php
file for
‘dbxxxxx:[e-mail]/dbxxxxx_toomodern’
[backtrace] => Array ( [0] => Array (

=> dbxxxxx:[e-mail]/dbxxxxx_toomodern
) ) ) [callback] => ) 1

my code is as follows:

<?php
  require_once('DB.php');
  $db = new DB;
  $db_host = 'internal-db.sxxxxx.gridserver.com'; 
  $db_user = 'xxxxx'; 
  $db_pass = 'xxxxx'; 
  $db_name = 'xxxxx'; 
  $dsn = "$db_user:$db_pass@$db_host/$db_name"; 
  $resource = $db->connect($dsn);
}

Can anyone see my error here?
Is there an index of PEAR errors online, I can’t for the life of me find them!

Answer 1

You also have to inlcude the DB type, so if it’s MySQL, you would need to change it to

$dsn = "mysql://$db_user:$db_pass@$db_host/$db_name";
