asmith Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 these names has made me so messed up . when i study php on my computer , i had localhost and mysql been set up ... i had a username and passwords for "entering" mysql , then after logging i gave a user privilage for php coding like : mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass"); and i had created database with names "user" , "site_info" IN THE mysql . and so on ... the confussion i have now is : i've get a hosting package , it has said i can have 3 mysql databases. first question is i can have 3 databases IN mysql database ? (like my "user" and "site_info" ) OR i can have 3 copy of the mysql database (3 mysql softwares?) my site works with cpanel. in the mysql link , there is "create database" part . i let me create 3 databases, i tried to create more ,but it said i have my 3 databases, now in there i can create users with password and add them to these databases . when i added database "test1" , it added "mydomain_test1" . now in all php pages i've write, for example there are mysql_select_db("test1") , i should change all to mysql_select_db("mydomain_test1") (assumin i can have 3 databases INSIDE one mysql database ) ... !!!? !!? !!?!?! (please talk in my language , like 3 IN one mysql , or 3 mysql copies . .so i can understand .. thanks in advance) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/86744-solved-confusion-with-names/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 when i added database "test1" , it added "mydomain_test1" . now in all php pages i've write, for example there are mysql_select_db("test1") , i should change all to mysql_select_db("mydomain_test1") (assumin i can have 3 databases INSIDE one mysql database ) ... You need to give mysql_select_db() the actual name of your database, i.e. mydomain_test1. first question is i can have 3 databases IN mysql database ? (like my "user" and "site_info" ) When you've created the database then you can have as many tables as you would like inside that database. (please talk in my language , like 3 IN one mysql , or 3 mysql copies . .so i can understand .. thanks in advance) Seeing as you have a curious way of using punctuation and spacing I don't think that will be possible Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/86744-solved-confusion-with-names/#findComment-443510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmith Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 thanks for replying , the thing i think has made me confused here is i can have as many databases here on my localhost in mysql database, using : create database example1 then in those databases i can have as many tables i want to . so in mysql in localhost can have infinite databases with infinite tables . but now i'm being limited to 3 databases, that was the point ... so , i have to search all the codes and made every "test1" to "mydomian_test1" ??

Daniel0 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Yes, but you should consider connecting in one file and then perhaps include that file. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/86744-solved-confusion-with-names/#findComment-443533 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel0 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Well, you could do <?php $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'pass'); mysql_select_db('database'); ?> And then include that file.
