Response to: Connect to MySQL DB

I need help. I have been working on my site for days now and am having a problem. I am receiving an error saying the script could not connect to my sql. My script seems perfectly fine but it won't connect. Also I am using godaddy and a windows hosting account. Is there a chance it won't connect unless I change to linux?


My script is below:



<?
/**
* Connect to the mysql database.
*/
$conn = mysql_connect("p3nlmysqladm001.secureserver.net:", "loginform978", "************") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('loginform978', $conn) or die(mysql_error());


?>


I have also tried this:
<?
/**
* Connect to the mysql database.
*/
$conn = mysql_connect("p3nlmysqladm001.secureserver.net:3306", "loginform978", "************") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('loginform978', $conn) or die(mysql_error());


?>


Please help me. If you need to please contact me at mike_foster@tmail.com.


Thanks,
Mike Foster

    Remove the colon : after the server name. Use just p3nlmysqladm001.secureserver.net and you should be ok.
