I am having trouble with selecting my database via PHP script on localhost.
I am 100% sure that db name is spelled correctly and infact it appears on phpmyAdmin very well and only when I am trying to connect to it by running a PHP script on localhost it displays the following error:
Database selection failed Unknown database 'fokrul_justdeals'
My PHP code is here:
<?php
class database{
public $connection;
// the user for the database
public $user = 'root';
// the pass for the user
public $pswd = '';
// the db from where you want to parse the info
public $db = 'fokrul_justdeals';
// the host where db is located
public $host = 'localhost';
function __construct(){
$this->connect();
}
private function connect(){
$this->connection = mysql_connect("$host", "$user", "$pswd") or die("Database connection failed ". mysql_error());
if($this->connection){
// we select the db that we want to work with
mysql_select_db($this->db, $this->connection) or die("Database selection failed " . mysql_error());
}
}
I have read thousands of forums and I am doing everything as I shall be. But don't know what is going wrong here?
One interesting thing is that out of all databases only system generated db 'mysql' connects if I change the db name to 'mysql' in PHP script.
I have tried creating different db names and also tried creating new users and adding full privileges to them. Nothing has worked for me :(
