Summary: 0003098: mysql_connect hostname substition by mangling jndi name
Description: I have this string in the php:

mysql_connect("java:comp/env/jdbc/thecrossingchurch");

What happens is I get this error:

Warning: A link to the server could not be established. url=jdbc:mysql://java:3306/?characterEncoding=ISO8859_1 [^]

If I change the statement to:

mysql_connect("localhost");

Warning: A link to the server could not be established. url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/?characterEncoding=ISO8859_1 [^]

In fact, I can change it to anything and have a similar result. However, if a non-word character is put in the string, then that appears to be the terminator as in the first example.

I get:



"jdbc/thecrossingchurch" is configured in resin.xml. I can confirm this by doing:

$conn = jndi_lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/thecrossingchurch");
print $conn;

Which shows the name and this works as well:

$db = new PDO("java:comp/env/jdbc/thecrossingchurch");

Returning a connection, but the site design expect a mysql_connect and mysql_select_db call to setup a current database.

<?php
  
  $jndi_name = "java:comp/env/jdbc/cms";
  
  $conn = jndi_lookup( $jndi_name );
  var_dump( $conn );
  
  $link = mysql_connect( $jndi_name );
  var_dump( $link );
  
?>

outputs:

resource(DBPool[jdbc/cms])

I have the same problem with postgresql (pg_connect) and quercus 4.0.3

I can connect via PDO using the jndi name but I cannot connect using pg_connect with the jndi name

I'm experiencing the same problem with mysql_connect and mysql_pconnect.

I've had to revert from JNDI to using direct JDBC URIs to get my legacy PHP app working without having to rewrite a lot of code to use PDO instead.

I use resin 4.0.5, Postgresql 8.4.2 and PEAR.DB library.
I have found that the following configuration works:

in resin.xml: ...<database><jndi-name>jdbc/erw</jndi-name>...
in web.xml: ...<init><database>java:comp/env/jdbc/erw</database>...
in the PHP file:
<?php
...
$db = DB::connect('pgsql://java:comp/env/jdbc/erw'); [^]
...
?>

In other words, I have put 'pgsql://' [^] before the jndi name.
