“Premature end of data” error with PHP

Question

I\'ve just started using WAMP for a PHP project and I get the next errors related with this line of code:

$link=mysql_connect(\"localhost\",\"myuser\",\"mypa         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem and fixed it using an UPDATE query like this:

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = PASSWORD('newpwd') WHERE Host = 'some_host' AND User = 'some_user';

Don't know why but SET Password didn't work.

To be sure that the problem is the one i think you should do this query on the mysql database:

SELECT
`user`.`Password`
FROM
`user`
WHERE
`user`.`User` = 'youruser' AND
`user`.`Host` = 'yourhost'

if the password doesn't start with a * the problem is that you still have the old encription

EDIT _ Here is a php function to create valid password for MYSQL (taken from here):

function mysql_41_password($in)
{
$p=sha1($in,true);
$p=sha1($p);
return "*".strtoupper($p);
}

Thene you can set the password manually:

//newpwd is the passowr dgenerated in php
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = 'newpwd' WHERE Host = 'some_host' AND User = 'some_user';
