Connect to MySQL Database Server

To work with the MySQL database, we first need to connect to MySQL Database Server. PHP provides mysql_connect() function to do this, and requires three strings as input: 'hostname', 'username' and 'password'. Use Code-1 to connect to MySQL Database Server.

Code Select
Code 1: test.php
<html>
<head>
  <title>Server test Page </title>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Testing
working of MySQL.</p>
  <?php
   /* Connecting to MySQL */
   $link = mysql_connect("mysql_host", "mysql_user", "mysql_password") or die("Could not connect : " . mysql_error());
   print "Connected successfully";
  ?>
</body>
</html>

If your script has no error, then Code-1 gives output as:

QuoteOutput 1: test.php
Testing working of MySQL.
Connected successfully
