Php mysql connectivity
1. PHP Mysql connectivity
Use the mysql_connect( ) functiontoestablishedconnectiontothe MySQLserver.To accessthe
database functionalitywe have tomake a connectiontodatabase usingPhp.mysql_connect() function
isusedto establishthe connectiontomysql server.
Four argumentsneedtobe passedtomysql_connect() function.
Hostname : if you are working on local system , you can use localhost or you can also
provide ip address or server name.
username : if there is a existing user , you can provide username. default username is
'root'.
password : by default password is blank or null.
dbname : it is a optional field . it is basically a name of the database that need to be
connected.
mysql_connect(host, username, password, dbname);
Parameter Description
host(Server name) Either a host name(server name) or an IP address
username The MySQL user name
password The password to log in with
dbname Optional. The database to be used when performing queries
Note : There are more available parameters, but the ones listed above are the most
important. In the following example we store the connection in a variable ($con) for later
use in the script
<?php
// Create connection
$con=mysql_connect("localhost","root","") or die(mysql_error());
?>
Here localhost is server name. root is MySQL default user name. default password is blank and
database name is my_db. mysql_error( ) function provides mysql connectivity error message.
MySQL Close Connection
<?php
// Create connection
$con=mysql_connect("localhost","root","","my_db") or die(mysql_error());
//code to be executed...
2. // Close connection
mysql_close($con);
?>
after work with the database is done we have to close the connection using mysql_close()
function in which the connection to the database is passed.
