I'm trying to connect to a remote server. I think the problem is with the port number, but when I try error reporting, I'm not getting any information.
$db_host = 'MY.IP.ADD.RESS:3306';
$db_user = 'user';
$db_pass = 'password';
$db_database = 'database';
$link = mysqli_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_pass,$db_database) or die('Unable to establish a NHT_DB connection');
if (!$link) {
die('Connect Error: ' . mysqli_connect_error());
}
else {
echo 'Success... ' . mysqli_get_host_info($link) . "\n";
}
First, I'm not 100% confident that's the correct port. How do I find out what port mysql is set to use?
Second, mysqli_connect_error() isn't giving me anything. No number, codes, nothing. The test page just spits back Connect Error: with out as much as a code I can go look up.
Solution was to add a port argument to the mysqli_connect function.
$db_host = 'MY.IP.ADD.RESS';
$db_user = 'user';
$db_pass = 'password';
$db_database = 'database';
$db_port = '3306';
$link = mysqli_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_pass,$db_database,$db_port);
