Mar 07.2015

hi everyone,

Someone please help me. Tried online examples, tried many versions. Tried for 3hours. I couldn’t connect. I use bluehost server. I need your help please.

$con = odbc_connect(“Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};Server=xxx.xx.xxx.xxx:3306;Database=david;”, “usr”, “pwd”);

I have also tried this one,
$con = odbc_connect(“Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};Server=xxx.xx.xxx.xxx:3306;Database=david;”, $usr, $pwd);

Thank in advance

@NogDogMar 07.2015 — What error(s) do you get? (Do you have error reporting turned on?)

Any particular reason you are using ODBC to connect to MySQL instead of PDO or MySQLi ?

@rootMar 08.2015 — That's what I was going to ask also NogDog.

have you tried the following?

[code=php]$con = new mysqli('localhost', 'my_user', 'my_password', 'my_db');
if ($mysqli->connect_error) {
die( "Connect Error ( " . $mysqli->connect_errno . " ) " . $mysqli->connect_error);
}
echo "YAY!!! We did it...";
[/code]

Also, try turning on error reporting, it might also help.

Success!
