mattal999 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 It's trying to connect to tcp://root:3306/, which is incorrect. mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', ''); // Function declaration: mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/222312-mysql_connect-and-php_network_getaddresses/#findComment-1149963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 It would probably be a good idea for you to read the documentation for mysql_connect(). The first parameter is the host name/ip of the mysql server.

The Little Guy Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 oh wow... I feel dumb now... I have used that function hundreds of times, and I put the host in the wrong spot Sorry, but thanks guys for pointing that out!
