Connecion issue

[toolman]

Hi,

 

For some reason, I keep getting this error when trying to connect:

 

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to MySQL server on...

Warning: mysql_select_db() [function.mysql-select-db]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket...

Warning: mysql_select_db() [function.mysql-select-db]: A link to the server could not be established...

 

This is my php code:

 

<?php
//database connection settings
$db_username = "test";
$db_password = "test";
$db_host = "test";
$db_name = "test";

$connection = mysql_connect($db_username, $db_password, $db_host);
if(!$connection){
echo"Cannot connect to database! Please check the settings";
}

else{
echo"Database Connection Successful";
}

mysql_select_db($db_name);
echo"Database Connection Successful";

?>

 

Any ideas whats wrong?

The three parameters in the mysql_connect() function call are not in the order that you tried. The only way to effectively use any programming language is to read the documentation for whatever small part of it you are attempting to use - http://php.net/mysql_connect
