Connect in mysql without pdo or mysqli;

[SPED MAKER]

Guys, I'm having difficulties with connecting to SQL .....

Has anyone succeeded in making a mysql_pconnect or mysql_connect connection?

If so, how did you achieve this feat?

If not, join me to cry together.

I understand you’re trying to connect from a MySQL server from a PHP App Engine, is that correct? This guide in our documentation details how to connect to Cloud SQL (which is MySQL under the hood) from a PHP application. Is it lacking in some ways in regards to your needs?

In this sample, the method used is PDO.

But on my system I using mysql_connect and mysql_query...And so forth.

I not would like change the query for connections methods.

I believe that problem to happens because the first parameter on mysql_connect ($server or socket)... how I should send this information ?

Very Thank

i did two code to test :

1° have one query with  connection per PDO;

2° have a simple mysql_connection.

The firts it works, not  problem.

but the other have problems to connect.... 

to make a connection with mysql_query i use:

mysql_query($host,$user,$password) while in PDO i use a string like was suggested in the doc that you send;

how i can fill the $host to obtain success on my connection

I solved this problem.

to connect with a mysql_connection is necessary a little change.

the example says to use:

  MYSQL_DSN: mysql:unix_socket=/cloudsql/INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME;dbname=DATABASE;

to make a connection with PDO.

in mysql_connect use this::

$server = ":/cloudsql/INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME";

$user = 'root'

$pass = "pass";

mysql_connect ($server,$user,$pass);
