Dethman Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Heres the Code that I am using and the DB info is under it <?php session_start() or DIE("A session could not be created! Please Contact the administrator");; mysql_connect('localhost', '10352_reality', '123456') or DIE("UNABLE TO CONNECT TO DATABASE! Please Contact the administrator"); mysql_select_db('10352_reality') or DIE("UNABLE TO SELECT THE DATABASE! Please Contact the administrator"); ?> Now heres the DB info: Database Server Name: mysql Database: 10352_reality Username: 10352_reality Password: 123456 But I still get the "CANNOT CONNECT TO THE DATABASE" Error Cant Figure it out could it be the "Localhost" Thing Is there something else I can put there?

jesushax Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 where the local host thing is is where you put the path or address/ip to the database Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolphie Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 You shouldn't die a custom error, but you should die a mysql error. This is how a connection should be made <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); $con = mysql_connect('server_name', 'db_username', 'db_password') or die('MySQL Error: ' . mysql_error()); if($con) mysql_select_db('db_name') or die('MySQL Error: ' . mysql_error()); ?> Using mysql_error() will explicity give you the specific error as to why PHP can't make a connection to the database.
