Thread: mysql

i have a programmer doing some database work for a site i built and he asked the below question in red...what do i do? thanks for the help...thanks

Sorry about that, I will add the space to input creditors tonight.
Being as I have your approval lookwise, I can start the programming
behind the calculations tonight. The hardest part will be adding
what's submitted and calculated to the contract itself. If I don't run
into any issues building it further, I can have the link live by the
end of this week. But I will keep you posted daily. As for cost, being
as its only a page or 2 design wise, I would say about $200.

If you want me to create an actual login page, where your staff can
log in, to access this calculator, I need to know if your current web
hosting has MYSQL installed. I would need that to create the user
accounts, registration p

yes, Mysql is available..................in your cpanel

thanks, but what do i have to do?

this is the latest from my database creator....i gave my username and password to cpanel....this is going to www.rapiddebtsettlement.com website, one of many i have hosted under one public html....can you help..thanks

Sorry no it didn't.. I am connecting to the database through php here is the code
$host="localhost"; // Host name
$username="cnpdlizb_rapid"; // Mysql username $password="password"; // Mysql password $db_name="cnpdlizb_registration"; // Database name $tbl_name="members"; // Table name

I need to know that host name, localhost is not working...
on my own personal website the host name for my own mysql server is :
db526.perfora.net
so it needs to be something along those lines. otherwise it wont let me connect. and at 1&1 who hosts my website they clearly show you db526.perfora.net is the host name, in this cpanel they don't tell you.

Unless the php script is on a different server then the database then the host will be "localhost". Make sure he is using the right username,password, and database name, and that he gave permission for the username to access the database.

If you were to go to rapiddeptsettlement.com/cpanel and login, if that is the same cpanel account the database was created with it most definently will be "localhost"..
