And avoid error message “WARNING: cannot start the portable MySql server…” when executing application.
Application does proceed but, as expected, when trying to use MySQL get “PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function query()”.
Connection can fail, for multiple reasons (conflict, user error, user messed with mysql folder, etc.). I would like to know if it’s not connected and, thereby, have my code use another process other than SQL.
I looked at the forum for possible solutions such as an HESscript, global variable, etc. No luck.
