hi, i have a stupid question, but how to connect to mysql?

e.g. on bplaced im named michat34.
i have created a database ‘michat34_ikariam’.

so how should my code look like?

mysql_connect(‘michat34.bplaced.net’, ‘michat34_ikariam’, ‘PASSWORD’);
mysql_select_db(‘michat34_ikariam’)

its propably incorrect because throws some kind of error.
so how should right code look like? greetings

Hello,

Use localhost for the server and not michat34.bplaced.net :wink:

The MySQL Server is running at the same system as the web and FTP (etc) server.
