PHP - Help Connecting To Database
Can someone tell me why in the following code, in the 'try' section, this code works: (first line after 'try')
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=$dbasename", $username, $password); even though I have not declared a variable named $dbname,
but if I change it to "$databasename", which I have declared, it doesn't work. I don't understand that.

My database just stopped connecting? I have tried everything i could but no way! What could have happened and what can i do? I even went as far as creating the database connection inside the page to see if it will work but still no way!
Thanks I have the following code created, however when i run it it doesn't come back as saying connected successfully?
<?php $host = "localhost"; $my_user = "root"; $my_password = ""; $my_db = "notes_db" $con = mysqli_connect("localhost","my_user","my_password","my_db"); echo ("Connected Successfully"); ?> The following code works: Code: [Select] @ $db = new mysqli('localhost', 'username', 'password', 'database'); if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { echo 'Error: Could not connect to database. Please try again later.'; exit; } $query = "select * from model order by name asc"; $result = $db->query($query); However, I just started to include connect.php to my pages. Now I'm getting an error saying: "Fatal error: Call to a member function query() on a non-object on line 14" Here's my connect.php Code: [Select] .... $db = mysql_select_db($dbase , $connection) or die ("Can't select database."); Line 14 is... $result = $db->query($query); Any ideas? I believe it's the $db variable causing the problem. Hi, I found the following tutorial on a list of Top 20 tutorials.

Thank You for your help in adavance. If the script is not uploaded onto the server you cant use $dbc = mysql_connect('localhost', 'username', 'pass'); so how could I connect in cli? this did not work $dbc = mysql_connect('http://123.456.789.10', 'username', 'pass'); So what can I do? Thanks Never worked with GoDaddy before... Can't get my config script to connect to the database. Here's my code (I'm sure all the login info is correct, except maybe the host name but I copied that from GoDaddy too...) <?php ob_start(); // MySQL connection settings $db_host = "anakdesigns.db.2089823.hostedresource.com"; $db_user = "********"; $db_pass = "********"; $db_name = "********"; // Connect to the database $con = mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pass) or die("Cannot connect to DB"); mysql_select_db($db_name) or die("Error accessing DB"); ?> http://www.anakdesigns.com/dev Hi. For a uni assignment I am turning my static prototype into a dynamic prototype and adding various features like templates, log in system and the ability to add/delete information stored on the database and view the information on the website. I have running into a problem though, I am having difficulties getting connected to the database, I don't know if this is something to do with the log in information though, below I have quoted the files. update.php (the script I use to connect to the database) Quote <?php /* * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates * and open the template in the editor. */ $name = $_POST['name']; $sname = $_POST['sname']; $address = $_POST['address']; $number = $_POST['number']; mysql_connect("localhost", "", "") or die ('error: ' .mysql_error()); mysql_select_db ("bza410_test"); $query="INSERT INTO testTable (id, firstname, surname, address, phone)VALUES ('NULL','".$name."', '".$sname."', '".$address."', '".$number."')"; mysql_query($query) or die ('error updating database'); echo "database updated with: " .$name. " ".$sname." ".$address." ".$number ; ?> after localhost I am aware password/username goes there, just removed them for obvious reasons. home.php Quote <?php $pagetitle = 'Welcome to ENSI'; require 'template/header.php'; ?> <p> This web page page was created on <strong> <?php echo date('l F jS \a\t Y h:i:s A \,'); if (date('H') < 12) { echo ' RISE AND SHINE!!!,'; } else { echo ' TIME TO SLEEP!!!,'; } ?> </strong> on the computer that is running on PHP. </p> <div> <p><strong>Please enter your name and birthday:-</strong></p> <form method="post" action="update.php"> <fieldset> <legend>Details</legend> <label>First Name:</label> <input type="text" name="name" /> <br/> <label> Surname:</label> <input type="text" name="sname" /> <br/> <label> Address </label> <input type="text" name="address" /> <br/> <label>Phone</label> <input type="text" name="number" /> <br/> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" /> <input type="reset" name="reset" value="reset" /> </fieldset> </form> <?php if(isset ($_POST['submit'])) { $name = $_POST['name']; $sname = $_POST['sname']; $address = $_POST['address']; $number = $_POST['number']; echo htmlentities ($text); echo 'Hello, your first name is ' .$name; echo ' Your surname is ' .$sname; echo ' Your address is - ' .$address; echo ', Your phone number is - ' .$number; } ?> </div> <?php require 'template/footer.php'; ?> When I fill in the form and then press submit it goes to "error updating database" from the script, so have I got the server information wrong? Thanks Will. Im trying to connect to a database from php. Heres the code: <?php $dbc = mysqli_connect('192.168.0.122', 'boyyo', 'KiaNNa11', 'aliendatabase') or die('Error connecting to MySQL server.'); $query = "INSERT INTO aliens_abduction (first_name, last_name, " .

I use HostGator to do this and im using Phpmyadmin. But everytime i type in a form that i created it says Error querying database. Can someone tell me whats wrong with this code. Oh by the way im using head first into PHP and MySQL How we can make the connection to ODBC in PHP If any shares the coding part then it would be great. (Table to database) So I've followed this code, corrected about 12 error, talked to my hosting and I am so done. I have tried everything but the error won't go away. The code is pasted below. As it's really late any help would be appreciated that would make my day the next day...
