wutske 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2008 In 99% percent of the cases, your host is localhost $host['naam'] = localhost; and instead of just returning some text in case of an error, die with this:die(mysql_error()) Also, the link to your website isn't working.

Feelay 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2008 like wutske said:if you change the OR die ('Cant connect to the database'); to OR die (mysql_error()); you will get more information about what's wrong with your code. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TavoxPeru 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 I think that this error happens because of the server name parameter, as wutske said use localhost instead. Â The database server name parameter is a string that can include the port number the MySql server will use in case it is necesary. Also, you can use a path to a local socket ":/path/to/socket" for the localhost or even an IP number. So, the following ones are valid strings which you can use to specify your MySql server name: localhostlocalhost:3306example.comexample.com:3307/tmp/mysql.socklocalho http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/127.0.0.1127.0.0.1:3306For more information visit the mysql_connect() php function page, and if you need the exactly mysql error number use the mysql_error() function, like:Â <?php$db = mysql_connect($host['naam'], $host['gebruikersnaam'], $host['wachtwoord']) OR die("Mysql Error: " . mysql_errno() . " - " . mysql_error());?>Generally i use a function when i need to connect to any database, and instead using the die() php function i use the exit() php function when an error is generated. Here is my general database connection function:Â <?phpfunction dbconn($server,$uname,$upwd,$dbname) { if(!($link=mysql_connect($server,$uname,$upwd))) { $errorText = mysql_error(); $errorNum = mysql_errno(); echo "Connection to the database server fails.<br />MySql says:<br />Error Number: $errorNum<br />Error Message: $errorText"; exit(); } if (!mysql_select_db($dbname,$link)) { $errorText = mysql_error(); $errorNum = mysql_errno(); echo "Database selection fails.<br />MySql says:<br />Error Number: " . $errorNum . "<br />Error Message: " . $errorText"; mysql_close(); exit(); } return $link;}$host['naam'] = 'CENSORED'; // my host$host['gebruikersnaam'] = 'righto'; // my database username$host['wachtwoord'] = 'CENSORED'; // my database password$host['databasenaam'] = 'odinms'; // my database name// To connect you can use this way$conn = dbconn($host['naam'],$host['gebruikersnaam'],$host['wachtwoord'],$host['databasenaam']);// or this way toodbconn($host['naam'],$host['gebruikersnaam'],$host['wachtwoord'],$host['databasenaam']);?>Best regards, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
