Task 6

Completed with this task, Had a bit of difficulty getting everything to work again because most of the commands where deprecated again. argh!!

php.net is a very helpful recourse

The most challenging task

I am getting the following error message, and I am not sure why my header.php path is pointed at C:\Program Files\xampp\php\pear\' instead at C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\

.Warning: include(header.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\connect\index.php on line 3

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'header.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\Program Files\xampp\php\pear\' in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\connect\index.php on line 3

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\connect\index.php on line 5

Where you tell your header path is, is where it looks for the file. So in :\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\connect\index.php on line 3 your path is incorrect, it cannot find the header.php file based on what you coded there.

Maybe if you can post header.php we can see better what could be wrong?

do you know what version of xamp you are running? but i agree with rgb post your prob.
