I have just rented a web site and the provider also has phpMyAdmin as a tool to create MySQL databases. When I try to use a simple proven(local Apache server), php script, I am not getting the db connection to php.
I use the mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', 'password', 'SQLDB name') command in the script and check it with a $link echo command. I was told by the service provider that this should work.
Any suggestions?
