Other database options?....

[Anon]

Hello,
I am trying to create a program in PHP where i can post job listings. I need a database. However, I do not have MySQL. Are there any other options that I can use??? Thanks.

Well, my hosting people said that they support MySQL databases with the plan that I purchased, but I made a little script with mysql_get_server_info() in it says could not connect to mysql. Heres the url:

Well 1 question to then ask your host is, are you setup to connect to the mysql database

Once you have been granted permission

<?php
$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "secret")
or die("Could not connect");
print ("Connected successfully");
mysql_close($link);
?>
