I am trying to connect to my 000webhost MySQL database but it can't connect
Here is my PHP:
<?php
$db = new mysqli("mysql9.000webhost.com", "a9012103_msg", "msg123", "a9012103_msg");
if($db->connect_error) {
die("Couldn't connect to DB");
} else {
die("Connection successful");
}
?>
I have all of the correct information. Here is the information for the database
MySQL Database --- MySQL User --- MySQL Host
a9012103_msg --- a9012103_msg --- mysql9.000webhost.com
I assume that the database automatically adds in the user after I create it. I have tried using localhost but that doesn't work either.
My website is devconnect.comxa.com
It seems to be a blank space after the hostname:
"mysql9.000webhost.com "

I am working on php at the moment and I am having problem with connecting to a server data base I am using MAMP
this is my code
<?php
$con = mysqli_connect('localhost','root','root','something');
// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
else
{
echo "string";
}
?>
I really hope you help me in my learning process
this is the error massage I got
Failed to connect to MySQL: Unknown database 'something'
Are you sure your password is "root"? If you're using WAMP (as suggested by localhost), the default password for mysql is "" (blank).
I think you have changed the localhost name as demo..and by default localhost username and password is root and ``(no-passsword)..So just try it..
$con = mysqli_connect('demo','root','','something');
Hello I've been making a site on my local server and I finished it so I'm moving everything over to my live server. I've made a database in phpmyadmin on it and I would like to connect to it. I feel like I have the wrong inputs though because it gives me this error.
This is my code for my database connection.
<?php
return $conn = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'gener105_nate', '(Password)', 'user_data');
if (!$conn) {
die("Connection Failed: " . mysqli_connect_error);
}
I didn't actually enter password I just think I shouldn't show it anyway I think I just have something mixed up since I'm new at this.
Oh and the database is located within a database grouping should i input the path to it?
You need to tell it to connect to gener105_user_data instead of just user_data
return $conn = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'gener105_nate', '(Password)', 'gener105_user_data');
I'm working for an e-commerce that has the db on phpmyadmin. In another website I'd like to connect to that database. I have password, username and db name, so I'm using this "connection string":
<?php
$nomehost = "localhost";
$nomeuser = "user";
$password = "pass";
// connection
$conn=mysql_connect($nomehost,$nomeuser,$password);
if (!$conn) exit ("Error connection<br>");
// db name
if (!mysql_select_db("db_name",$conn)) exit("Error db name<br>");
?>
The result is "Error db name". What can I do? Have I to set some oprion in the phpmyadmin?
First of all:
this error is caused by the fact that you are selecting the wrong database in your MySql server. Is your db called db_name???
EDIT: based on the comments you are making: is the server that hosts the php page the same as the mysql server?
Then:
phpmyadmin is just a tool to connect and handle MySql databases and is not a database server itself.
Last but most important:
you are using a deprecated library (mysql) in php to connect to a MySql server. Please consider moving to mysqli or better to PDO
I have an online database and what I need to do is to fetch data from it and save to my local database(localhost). I tried adding remote mysql database cause it said it is needed(I added the IP address of my local computer), I dont know if its right. The problem is it gives me an error
"arning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to MySQL server on '10.24.168.85' (4) in /home/umalert/public_html/server/_includes/connection.php on line 18
Database connection failed:".
For now I have this connection script:
// create database connection
$connection_local = mysql_connect('x.x.x.x:3306', 'xxx', 'yyy');
if(!$connection_local) {
die ("Database connection failed: " . mysql_error());
}
// selece database to use
$db_select_local = mysql_select_db('umalert_db', $connection_local);
if(!$db_select_local) {
die("Database connection failed: ". mysql_error());
}
Hope you can help me with this. Thank you.
you should export your data from one database and import to another one.
I am trying to connect to my MySQL database through php, I am managing my Database with phpmyadmin. To login the username is root and I dont have a password. My problem is I cant connect, I get the "Could not connect to mySQL database" message when I try to
Below is my Code
<?php
session_start();
$server = 'localhost';
$db_usernmae = 'root';
$db_password = '';
$database = 'househockey';
if(mysql_connect($server, $db_usernmae, $db_password)){
die('Could not connect to mySQL database');
}
if (mysql_select_db($database)) {
# code...
die('couldnt connect to database');
}
?>
Im not sure if it matters, but I am using WAMP and I put my phpmyadmin folder into my htdocs folder.
Thanks
As you have written your code :
if(mysql_connect($server, $db_usernmae, $db_password)){
die('Could not connect to mySQL database');
}
This will when connection is true print the following: die('Could not connect to mySQL database'); I think what you need to test your connection, which sounds like it should work:
if(!mysql_connect($server, $db_usernmae, $db_password)){
die('Could not connect to mySQL database');
}
The ! will negate the returned value of your mysql_connect and tell you if you're connected.
As far as I know, PMA explicitly needs a username and password. Set a root password through
mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD and then change your PMA config, followed by a server restart. Alternatively, use MySQL workbench. It does more than create entity relationship diagrams (ERDs).
You may run into this problem if you have an anonymous user defined on your database.
"When a client tries to connect to the database, the MySQL server looks through the rows in the user table in a sorted order.
The server uses the first row that matches the most specific username and hostname."
Delete the anonymous user and try again.
