need translation of computer speak "PHP error" message
« on: Fri, 13 May 2011, 09:16:42 »
This is a new one for me and I just visited this page yesterday  - What exactly does this mean (and how do I fix it?):


A PHP Error was encountered


Severity: Warning

 Filename: mysql/mysql_driver.php
 Line Number: 66

That's typically not something you as a user can do much about, it's a server-side problem.

Apparently the web server cannot connect to the SQL database backend, and without that, it's lost. Sites relying on databases are very common these days. Need to keep user logins? Requires a database. Content management system? Requires a database. A forum or a blog? Probably needs two.
Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).

This message was probably typed on a vintage G80-3000 with blues. Double-shots, baby. :D
