mamp - PHP/MySQL – Error when connecting to server -
i'm using mac osx , have mamp installed, running localhost server. however, there issues running php code because website keeps returning there error when connecting server. don't know what's wrong this; maybe can me out here.
php code:
<?php $connection = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "password") or die ("there error when connecting server"); mysql_select_db("topaz", $connection) or die ("there error when connecting database"); echo " <body style='font-family: helvetica neue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;'> <div style='width: 80%; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #000000; background-color: #ffffff;'> <h1>login</h1> </div> </body> "; ?>
you need establish connection on port specified in control panel - default, mysql_connect()
attempt connect mysql host on port 3306.
specify port use in first parameter (host) of mysql_connect
:
$connection = mysql_connect("localhost:8889", "user", "password") or die ("there error when connecting server"); // here ^^^^^
mandatory note: don't use mysql_* functions they're deprecated. use pdo or mysqli_* instead.
