i am trying just to connect to my database. this is my first time and i seem to be following all that i read correctly. but that can't be the case since i am not connecting. anyway, this is the code that i am using. <?php $me = "myUserID"; $pass = "myPassword"; $host = "mysqladmin2.secureserver.net"; mysql_connect($host, $me, $pass); @mysql_select_db('myDatabaseName) or die( "Error! Unable to connect."); mysql_close(); ?> i also have a port number to connect to. i've tried using localhost in place of $host: mysql_connect(localhost, $me, $pass); I just can't connect. Please help! Thanks |

Hi Duframe, first of all change: mysql_connect($host, $me, $pass); to mysql_connect($host, $me, $pass) or die ( "Unable to connect to database"); This to specifie where the problem is. $host has to be either localhost or a ip number. check your mysql admin or "hosting cpanel" to look for your ip. Kind regards, Zero |

Here it is a little more complete: $dbh = mysql_connect ("localhost", "killerphp", "<PASSWORD HERE>")or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error()); mysql_select_db ("killerphp"); ... Note that I am using the function: mysql_error(), to find out what the error was.
