I have this problem:

 <?php
   $link = mysql_connect('123.123.123.123', 'user', 'pass');
   if (!$link) {
      die('con_error: ' . mysql_error());
    }
   mysql_select_db('db', $link) or die(mysql_error());

   echo 'connect!'."\n\n";

   var_dump($link);
   //var_dump($link->mysql_query('SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 1'));
   mysql_close($link);
   exit();
   ?>

There are no errors and print "connect!". But then, i can't select anything - i get this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function mysql_query() on a non-object i

var_dump($link) prints resource(2) of type (mysql link) and i cant find what does it means!

All connection attributes are correct. I can connect to DB from command line... What should i do?

Answer 1

$link is not an object, you cannot call methods through it!

What you want is

mysql_query('SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 1', $link);

but please note that mysql_* functions are deprecated, use PDO instead.
