Hi Roland,

>From code I see that can be used

    val_connect( "", "", "", ... )

Empty host, then  VPHP consider to be LOCAL for VPHP Standalone

Next should be used

    val_select_db()


But here I doubt for MAC.
On win/linux you should be able give here even path ...

You need what OS ?


PLEASE add report into mantis to
A) improve docs about this in VPHP section
B) may be check if VPHP Standalone can work with local db
