Connect to MySql Database from PHP

Anon

I am at learning stage of the PHP programming. I want to host the website which is already developed by our other team.
I don't know any thing about PHP so far. I created a database and a datasource name. And I am using MySql Database. I dumped all my files in a directory and i created a virtual site for that directory in order test it. I put the index.php as my default page. When i trying to retrieve that page i am getting error "Unable to connect to Database server!". So any body having familier in initial set up of PHP and MySql please help me to go ahead.

Do research,

You are asking us to retype the information that's been posted gazillion times.

One place to start would be searching this site's support forums, another one is goole...

it might be helpful to see the code snippets you're using to login. if your webserver is on the same machine as your mysql server, you might want to try connecting to your database using something like:

mysql_connect("localhost:/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock", "web_user", "");

or whatever your path to mysql is on the machine.

hope this helps. good luck with your studies.
