Connection to mySQL through PHP

[prathamtawde]

Dear Digiterzz!!

I'm trying to create a connection between mySQL database through PHP but I'm not able to do so..
Check out the following code:

<?php
$dbhost = 'mysql2.freehostia.com';
$dbuser = 'db_User';
$dbpass = 'admin';

$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die('Error connecting to mysql');

$dbname = 'db_Rakshak';
mysql_select_db($dbname);
?>

Please help!!
Thanks

If a 404 error, then it's not your code problem. Check the path of file and put the address according to that.

You are trying to run this code on your system locally or on the freehostia's hosting service?

What is more recommended to use - mysql_connect or pear mdb2? And why?

I personally prefer mysql_connect

pear mbd2 may be your choice...
