Remote connect to database at demo.phpmyadmin.net? - php

I teach a little php and SQL and I would like my students to temporarily connect to a database they have testet on demo.phpmyadmin.net, is this done simply by using:
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$hostname = "192.168.30.23";
If so it doesn't seem to work for me. :)

PHPmyadmin umlaut is going to be '?'

Im trying to write into my database through android (PHP script).Now... When I want to write a sentence like "Ich bin Müde" (German) it saves it like "Ich bin M?de". I already tried to change the collation of my column from latin1_general_ci to latin1_german1_ci but then I don't get any inputs. So the script is not saving my data into my tables. Is there a easy for a solution? Thanks to everyone
Php script
<?php
$hostname = "host";
$username = "admin";
$password = "pass";
$localhost = mysql_connect($hostname,$username,$password)
or
trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);
mysql_select_db("db");
$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO tbas VALUES(23,NULL,22,'Ich bin Müde','Ich bin Müde 2'));";
...
?>

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'mysql_select_db' (T_STRING)- cannot see my error?

I am trying to connect to a simple database on XAMPP using php- I know the database exists as I can see it on PHPMyAdmin and have created a table called students and added some data.
I have tested that I can run a simple test.php file ( from the htdocs folder on the XAMPP drive) and get a response. I cannot spot what is stopping me connecting to my database- can anyone help?
<?php
// connect to the database
$user_name = "root";
$password = "";
$database = "computing";
$host_name ="localhost";
$con=mysql_connect($host_name,$user_name,$password);
mysql_select_db($database);
//check connection
echo "Connection opened";
mysql_close($con);
?>
Could you please try the following code if it works?
<?php
// connect to the database
$user_name = "root";
$password = "";
$database = "computing";
$host_name = "localhost";
$con = mysqli_connect($host_name ,$user_name ,$password,$database) or die("Error " . mysqli_error($con));
//check connection
echo "Connection opened";
mysql_close($con);
?>
mysql commands are not going to be supported in future releases, so it would be best perhaps to use mysqli or PDO connections.
Also PDO uses parameters (the syntax might take a bit to make sense), so it is great to reduce risk from SQL Injections.
Mysqli: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysqli-connect.php
PDO: http://php.net/manual/en/class.pdo.php
The code above should work. Maybe try mysql_select_db($database, $con);

when changing database local to online page blank

I've recently made a new database that I had local. Everything worked fine and the scripts I've used (mysql and php codes) have been working properly. Since I've changed the database from local to online it has only caused problems with my script. Of course I've changed the details of connecting to MySQL database (having a password and such). Also, the content after the script won't work either.
Note: I haven't changed my script AT ALL. I've only changed the connection part.
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuser = "dbuser";
$dbpass = "dbpass";
$dbname = "compunll_itnj01";
$con = new mysqli($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbname);
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
$so = $con->prepare("SELECT * FROM besteloverzicht");
$so->execute();
--- rest of code
My apologies if I've forgotten to put anything further here. You can ask me and I'll respond asap!
Try to set the ip address of your db online
$dbhost = 'xx.xxx.xxx.xxx';

mysql_insert_id() suddenly stopped working

Don't know how to say this, but I have used mysql_insert_id() for many many years. Recently I included it in my web applications and worked well, I have successfully received 50 transactions and was happy.
All of a sudden all my transactions are coming in with ids equal 0, I Google'd around and read something about persistent connection being set to true? I just want me to make sure I give the right info to my network server guy, God knows, whenever something changes, they don't let me know, I only find out when my code all of a sudden breaks.
is there another function to use other than mysql_insert_id() in my PHP/MySQL code?
just for those who want to see code here is what i have: I am not including "id" as it is "auto increment not null primary key, etc"
<?php
$db_host2 = 'localhost';
$db_user2 = 'different';
$db_pass2 = 'different';
$db_name2 = 'different';
$conn2 = &NewADOConnection('mysqlt');
$db2 = $conn2->Connect($db_host2,$db_user2,$db_pass2,$db_name2);
if($conn2->isConnected()==false)
die("Could not connect to the database. Please try again in the next few minutes.");
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_user = 'admin';
$db_pass = 'pass';
$db_name = 'name';
include_once('adodb/adodb.inc.php');
define('ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC',2);
$ADODB_FETCH_MODE = ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC;
$conn = NewADOConnection('mysqlt');
$db = $conn->Connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_pass,$db_name);
if($conn->isConnected()==false)
die("Could not connect to the database. Please try again in the next few minutes.");
$q="insert into tableA(name,address,phone) values ('','','')"
$rs=$conn->execute($q);
$myid=mysql_insert_id();
?>
You just need 1 configuration example :
// database config
$DB_TYPE = "mysql";
$DB_HOST = "xxxxx";
$DB_USER = "xxxx";
$DB_PWD = "xxxx";
$DB_NAME = "xxx";
then use last insert ID for :
$db->Insert_ID
