I applied your code above and it has gotten me further along.
I've made it to the include statement in config.php for the connect.php .
The connect script does not seem to work when accessed this way (shell command)
I can manually enter sites to spider, connection ok that way.
In phpMyAdmin I get this message at the begining:
MySQL 3.23.49-log running on 69.49.xxx.yy as
abcdef@69.49.aaa.bb
I normally use the first number as the host value in the connection script, I tried the second one also, both same result, the connect script does not make it beyond :
$id_connect = @mysql_connect(PHPDIG_DB_HOST,PHPDIG_DB_USER,PHPDIG_DB_PASS);
I guess a shell script cannot access MySql the same way? I'll ask my hosting service about that one.
Thx again,
