[Sql -U And -P Prompts]

i found a way to make it work. here is the link:

 cd c:\xampp\mysql\bin and press Enter, then type mysql -u root and press Enter.

 

Thanks again

Thank you for the link!
i actually tried that earlier, that syntax exactly, and the error message keeps popping up .

[Sql -U And -P Prompts]

i am new to php and mysql, and really enjoying your book. thank you!

one quick question:

i was able to successfully access mysql through the command line yet i am having trouble with the -u and -p arguments:

 

ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corrosponds to your MySQL server version forthe right syntax to use near '-u root -p' at line 1

mysql>

 

i am running version 5.6.16

where can i look to find the correct syntax? (i poked around online for a bit but wasn't succesful)

thanks again for the great book!
