What is the name in my mysql-server?

Anon

Hello everyone,

When I call my mysql I write:

mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "code");

and it works. But I want to use a ip insted of localhost. If we say my ip is 255.255.255.255, what do I so have to write?

I have tried:
mysql_connect("http://255.255.255.255", "user", "code");
mysql_connect("255.255.255.255", "user", "code");

try using 172.0.0.1 as the ip. If this works than it is probable a error in webserver/server/or php settings. If this doesn't work then it's probably a syntax problem. Tommorow when I have a mysql host accessable I will try and let you know if I have any luck

No, use 172.0.0.1 (Thats a reserved IP for 'localhost'). Also I tried it here is the code I used to connect.

<?php

Heres the full message.

No, use 172.0.0.1 (Thats a reserved IP for 'localhost'). Also I tried it here is the code I used to connect.

<?php
$dbhost = "172.0.0.1"; (Use your ip)
$link = mysql_connect( $dbhost );
if ( ! $link )
{
die( "Unable to connect to MySQL" )
}
else
{
print "Connected";
}
?>
