使用php连接到mysql DB

Question

I tried to connect to my DB server using the hostname and the port in the file config.php but still give me error, I won't use the localhost server, the database is in other server. I get the hostname using : show variables like '%hostname%' and get the port using : SHOW VARIABLES WHERE Variable_name = 'port'

define('DB_USER', "test"); 
define('DB_PASSWORD', "test"); 
define('DB_DATABASE', "test"); 
define('DB_SERVER', "My problem is here"); 

someone know what I did wrong?

thank you

Answer 1

Some hosts, you can't connect to their database from your localhost, but only from their webserver.

Maybe thats your problem ?
