Connection Issue

[Vansers]

First of all, I really like how easydb is coded, it's easy and brief than using the actually PDO stuff!

I downloaded easydb with composer, using paragonie/easydb v2.2.1.

I'm just having a weird odd issue right now with easydb connecting, I'm not sure where the issue can be, I checked the SQL server, it appears to be online and running. Using MariaDB 5.5.52.

This is what I used to connect via easydb...

$db = \ParagonIE\EasyDB\Factory::create( 'mysql;host=localhost;dbname=databasename', 'databaseuser', 'databasepw' );

And this is the error it outputted...

Fatal error: Uncaught ParagonIE\EasyDB\Exception\ConstructorFailed: Could not create a PDO connection. Please check your username and password. in /var/www/vhosts/phoenix/httpdocs/area52/system_int/composer/vendor/paragonie/easydb/src/Factory.php:56 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/vhosts/phoenix/httpdocs/area52/system_int/bootstrap.inc.php(67): ParagonIE\EasyDB\Factory::create('mysql;host=loca...', 'databaseuser', 'databasepw') #1 /var/www/vhosts/phoenix/httpdocs/area52/index.php(3): require('/var/www/vhosts...') #2 {main} thrown in /var/www/vhosts/phoenix/httpdocs/area52/system_int/composer/vendor/paragonie/easydb/src/Factory.php on line 56

So I thought it was a error in my credentials, I checked and they were correct, however this wasn't the case after I used straight PDO from PHP and it worked by using this...

$db = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=databasename;charset=utf8', 'databaseuser', 'databasepw');

I checked the easydb source code, and I can't figure out what can be the issue. I'm hoping you can help me out here? My PHP version is 7.1.

Thanks!

Okay, that took deep eyes to find the issue. It was an issue with the document in README file.

$db = \ParagonIE\EasyDB\Factory::create( 'mysql;host=localhost;dbname=something', 'username', 'putastrongpasswordhere' );

In the document, it had comma splice (;) after mysql, it should be colon, (:).

I am having the same issue. Using easydb v2.0.0, php 7.2. i used straight PDO and it is working.
In addition, I am having this site can't be reached error.
Lastly, it shows the username and password in the error which is irritating.
