i'm trying to connect to mysql using php so that i can do web based
queries of my tables. i'm new at this so here are some questions:
1. is localhost just the ip of my server or is it also the path to
where mysql is on my server?
2. if root is the login name should it be my login or just stay as root?
3. is mypasswd the same password i enter when i'm in the mysql
evironment in reference to (mysql -u root -p)?
once i can declare the dbcnx variable i'll be able to do queries with php.
josh
// Connect to the database server
$dbcnx = @mysql_connect("localhost",
"root", "mypasswd");
if (!$dbcnx) {
echo( "<P>Unable to connect to the " .
"database server at this time.</P>" );
exit();
}
