Hello Everyone,
I install PHP, Xitami Webserver, and MySQL on Windows 98. Everything is working fine independently. PHP runs on Xitami no problem. However, I have problem with the connection using PHP connect to MySQL database. Please help!!!
Here is what I understand and what I don't understand:
I know that you need this to do the connection,
$connection = mysql_connect("hostname", "root");
$mysql_select_db("database_name", $connection);
What I don't understand is the "hostname" and "root". How can I find out what "hostname" and "root" are?
And here is what I have:
I install MySQL in the root directory and of course the database and the table I created are under MySQL table. "MyDatabase" is my database name.
C:\MySQL\Data\MyDatabase\
I have PHP and Xitami on C:\PHP and C:\Xitami, respectively.
Please help me to connect this two suckers together... thank you for your help.
Chris
