My PERL, PHP, MySQL and test environment are all set-up under Windows XP. While Link-Testing I ran into trouble trying to access a MySQL database table. I managed to force the error message "Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' ('using password: NO')". Researching further I discovered that ANONYMOUS (for Linux) is changed to ODBC (for windows). I found an old thread on the MySQL site which was supposed to overcome this problem, it didn't work I then changed the mysql commands to reflect ODBC (mysql_query to odbc_query etc.) and the system got annoyed because it was expecting MSSQL. Are there any of the same restrictions (Linux/windows) using PERL and MySQL? How do I pass the PHP variables to PERL and then get PERL to pass them back? Many Thanks in advance
