I am using Xampp to update my website and since I have added a Mysql database I have the error further down locally while it works fine online.
I'm using the code below to connect to my database:
<?php
$servername = "myservername";
$username = "myusername";
$password = "mypassword";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
echo "Connected successfully";
?>
http://localhost/connectdb.php
Result:
Connection failed: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known.
http://example.com/connectdb.php
Result:
Connected successfully
So there must be some configuration to do in Xampp to access a remote database or do I need to ask my host to whitelist my private IP Address? My host is OVH.
Thanks for your help
