I am using WebMatrix Beta 3 which has support for php 5.2 and 5.3 I am able to run php pages but when I am trying to connect to mySql DB its not working.
Can anyone please suggest me the right way of doing it.
The connection code is written in a file called dbinfo.php which resides under config folder
<?php
$hostname = '127.0.0.1';
$username = 'root';
$password = 'password';
$database = 'test';
$link = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password)
or die("Could not connect : " . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($database) or die("Could not select database");
//Below function added to allow customized unescaping.
function mysql_unescape($sRet_VAL=""){
$sRet_VAL = str_replace('\"','"',$sRet_VAL);
$sRet_VAL = str_replace("\'","'",$sRet_VAL);
return $sRet_VAL;
}
?>
and I am using this file as follows
<?php
require_once( $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/config/dbinfo.php');
?>
<?php
$query = "SELECT * from temp";
$result = mysql_query($query)
or die("Error: " . mysql_error());
?>
