Well, here's the deal. I have this site with a framework called codeigniter. It's a MVC framework in PHP. I'm trying to use the wordpress API in order to set up a view in CodeIgnite that uses the wordpress API to get blog posts.
so the blog is in /wp-blog/
, and the codeigniter framework is set up in /system/
. so in the codeigniter view, I call require_once('/wp-blog/wp-load.php');
the wp-load file opens a config file with the database info on it. However, when i call it from my view, it doesn't work. However, when it's called from /wp-blog/index.php
, it has no problem showing me the database
I don't know if it's a permissions issue. I'm clearly able to access the config file, because I get an error message that says 'username'@'localhost'
and the username is right.
so if they are both getting the same file, and both executing the same file with the mysql_connect()
function, why would one only work from inside the blog, and one does not work?
Here's the error:
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'theuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
