Database class is not correctly connecting to my database.
- by blerh
I'm just venturing into the world of OOP so forgive me if this is a n00bish question.
This is what I have on index.php:
$dbObj = new Database();
$rsObj = new RS($dbObj);
This is the Database class:
class Database
{
private $dbHost;
private $dbUser;
private $dbPasswd;
private $dbName;
private $sqlCount;
function __construct()
{
$this->dbHost = 'localhost';
$this->dbUser = 'root';
$this->dbPasswd = '';
$this->dbName = 'whatever';
$this->sqlCount = 0;
}
function connect()
{
$this->link = mysql_connect($this->db_host, $this->db_user, $this->db_passwd);
if(!$this->link)
$this->error(mysql_error());
$this->selection = mysql_select_db($this->db_name, $this->link);
if(!$this->selection)
$this->error(mysql_error());
}
}
I've shortened it to just the connect() method to simplify things.
This is the RS class:
class RS
{
private $username;
private $password;
function __construct($dbObj)
{
// We need to get an account from the db
$dbObj->connect();
}
}
As you can probably see, I need to access and use the database class in my RS class. But I get this error when I load the page:
Warning: mysql_connect()
[function.mysql-connect]: Access
denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost'
(using password: NO) in
C:\xampp\htdocs\includes\database.class.php
on line 22
The thing is I have NO idea where it got the idea that it needs to use ODBC as a user... I've read up on doing this stuff and from what I can gather I am doing it correctly.
Could anyone lend me a hand?
Thank you.
