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.
