Hi All,
I'm putting a website together using PHP and a MySQL database. I've been
using phpMyAdmin as it makes updating the DB nice and easy. For development,
I've been using Apache, MySQL and PHP installed on my local machine but now
I'm having problems porting to my hoster's server.
To transfer the database contents, I've exported the structure and data of
my local DB to a .sql file and uploaded this to my hosted DB using
phpMyAdmin on the host. This seems to work, but there are two problems:
1). Firstly, the MySQL PASSWORD() command give different results on the host
than it does on my local machine. For example, using phpMyAdmin on my local
machine, typing:
SELECT PASSWORD ('mypassword')
gives a 16 byte number as my books suggest. However, running the same
command on the server gives a 41 bytes code!!!. Consequently, all my login
functionality does not work!.
2). Secondly, I noticed that phpMyAdmin on the host shows a 'Collation'
column with the value 'latin1_swedish_ci'. This column isn't present when
using phpMyAdmin on my local machine, even though the DB contents show be
identical. So what's that all about??.
Thanks for any comments,
Dave
