title: MySQL_Query error in PHP script
body: <p>The goal is that I would like to cycle through ALL of the .CSV files in my directory and run this script for each file so it appends the data into the DB. The issue stems from when I insert the loop below. I have compiled a PHP script that works perfectly when it comes to reading a SINGLE .CSV file into my MySQL DB. Despite this, I get the following error when I call the mysql_query function after inserting the import script into a loop: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)</p>
