[Which Php.ini File?]

The appendix section on Configuring PHP discusses editing the php.ini file. The php.ini file contains this text:

 PHP comes packaged with two INI files. One that is recommended to be used

; in production environments and one that is recommended to be used in

; development environments.

 

Do you recommend editing php.ini or using the php.ini-development file and if so, how do we connect to it?

[Could Not Connect To Mysql: Access Denied For User 'username'@'localhost' (Using Password: Yes)]

Got it. Thanks for your help. I missed the instructions in the appendix to create the "temp" db. Got it confused with "test" which was already there.

[Could Not Connect To Mysql: Access Denied For User 'username'@'localhost' (Using Password: Yes)]

Obviously, I am a novice at this. I created a password for the root user and added another user "Rick" with a password. I changed the host in the config file from 127.0.0.1 to localhost. I saved the file s mysqli_test.php with the exact text in the example since I am not sure what needs to be changed.

 

<?php

mysqli_connect ('localhost', 

'webuser', 'BroWsIng', 'temp');

?>
