I have the following situation:
$DB_Environment = file('../DB/DB_Environment.txt');
$host = trim($DB_Environment[0]);
$dbname = trim($DB_Environment[1]);
$p1 = "mysql:host=".$host.";dbname=".$dbname;
$user=trim($DB_Environment[2]);
$pass=trim($DB_Environment[3]);
try {
$conection = new PDO($p1, $user, $pass);
$conection->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE,PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
}catch (PDOException $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
This is an fragment of code that gives me this error:
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2005] Unknown MySQL server host 'localhost' (2)
The code above finds the content on 1st to 4th lines in the .txt file that contains the data to configure the connection with the database.
It apparently works on my localhost, but when I run it on the server, the error appears. Then I changed the code to this:
try {
$conection = new PDO("mysql:host=infojr.com.br;dbname=pluginfo", "myuser", "mypass");
$conection->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE,PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
}
catch (PDOException $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
I changed the search on the .txt file by your content, and it works, but I want it to work like the first example, which only works on my localhost (PC).

I added a database to my cPanel, but I cannot connect it.
try{
$db = new
PDO('mysql:host=markus.veridyen.com;dbname=sosyalki_pratiki1_ipss;charset=utf8','sosyalki','password');
}catch(PDOException $e){
echo 'Hata: '.$e->getMessage();
}
When I try to connect my database, it gives me this error message:
Hata: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] The connection could not be established because the target machine actively refused.
Notice: Undefined variable: db in C:\xampp\htdocs\ipss\survey.php on line 55
You still can use localhost as server name on a live server.
I'll assume you are using cpanel.
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username"; //your cpanel username
$password = "password"; //your cpanel password
try {
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=DatabaseName", $username, $password);
// set the PDO error mode to exception
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
echo "Connected successfully";
} catch(PDOException $e) {
echo "Connection failed: " . $e->getMessage();
}
?>
I'm using a mysql database. I would like to connect to it with the script i wrote :
<?php
function getDatabase() {
$host = 'localhost:3306';
$db = 'freya';
$login = 'root';
$pw = 'helloitsme';
try {
return new PDO('mysql:host='.$host.';dbname='.$db.';charset=utf8', $login, $pw);
} catch (Exception $e) {
die('Erreur : '.$e->getMessage());
}
}
$db = getDatabase();
I have seen that this error is recurent but none of the solutions worked for.
I checked the my.cnf, and i'm sure that i'm using the port where the mysql db is.
I'm also sure that the db name, the login and the password are correct, because i'm using them to reach the db with the shell.
What could be the problem ?
You don't need to specify the port as 3306 is default for mysql, but if you do, the correct connection string is
'mysql:host=localhost;port=3306 ...'
I am trying to create a simple mailing list webpage. Using LAMP. Here is the code I have for connecting to my database:
<?php
function insert()
{
$servername = "127.0.0.1";
$username = "root";
$password = "(my password here)";
$dbname = "(my db name here)";
try
{
// preparing database handle $dbh
$dbh = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=$dbname", $username, $password);
// set the PDO error mode to exception
$dbh->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
}
catch(PDOException $e)
{
echo ("Could not connect to server.\n");
echo ("getMessage(): " . $e->getMessage () . "\n");
}
}
?>
The function continues after that but this connection attempt gets cung up on the catch, and throws the "SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused" error. I have tried:
-Changing the $servername to localhost, but this gives me a different error: "SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory"
-trying to specify all different ports
-checked all my info, database name and password.
-I can log into phpmyadmin and see that my database is fine
-looked at all other questions on this topic, with no help found.
I am trying to run php file using MAMP on my mac system having maverick operating system.
it was working good before but suddenly it stop responding.
when I run html file it work fine even when I run any .php file with out database PDO it work fine but when I try to run php file with PDO database connection, localhost does work.
any concrete suggestions. welcome !
<?php
try
{
$host ="localhost";
$db ="ijdb";
$user="ijdbuser";
$pwd = "ijdbuser";
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=$host; dbname = $db', $user, $pwd);
$pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
$pdo->exec('SET NAMES "utf8"');
}
catch (PDOException $e)
{
$output = 'Unable to connect to the database server.';
include 'output.html.php';
exit();
}
$output = 'Database connection established.';
include 'output.html.php';
There are a few reasons as to why it's failing.
1) Variables do not get parsed in singles quotes
2) You have spaces; there should not be any.
'mysql:host=$host; dbname = $db'
//^ ^ ^
needs to read as:
"mysql:host=$host;dbname=$db"
^ ^
You may also want to use:
$pdo->exec("SET NAMES utf8");
Nota:
You should also modify your catch{...} to read as:
catch(PDOException $e) {
print $e->getMessage();
}
to get the real reason as to why it's failing.
I'm trying to connect to my mySQL database using the PDO class in PHP.
Here is my Code :
// Connects to Our Database via PDO.
if($local) {
try {
$db = new PDO("mysql:=localhost;dbname=bbc_archive;port=3306", "root", "");
$db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE,PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
$db->exec("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
} catch(Exception $e) {
echo "Connection to the DataBase was not possible. ";
die();
}
} else {
try {
$db = new PDO("mysql:=bbcarchive.db.11505263.hostedresource.com;dbname=bbcarchive", "bbcarchive", "myPassword");
$db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE,PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
$db->exec("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
} catch(Exception $e) {
echo "Connection to the live DataBase was not possible. ";
die();
}
}
The $local variable is defined before and determines whether or not the script is running on a the live server or a test server.
When running in my local environment everthing works fine but on my live server it echo's out "Connection to the live DataBase was not possible." from the catch block.
I've contacted my host provider (godaddy) and they think it's a coding error. I've also, obviously, checked the hostname, dbname, username and password a 100 times and it's all correct. I just can't see the problem!
How can i do this ?
Your DSN seems to be incorrect. The documentation on MySQL DSNs indicates that it should look somewhat like this:
$db = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=bbc_archive;port=3306", "root", "");
