Check PHP MySQL Connectivity:

The first step of any kind of connectivity is to check whether the connectivity has been established or not. To check the connectivity we need to know three things: The host name, Username, and respective Password.

Usuaally Host name is localhost, Username is root and password is " " (blank, unless you have set it ). After getting all these details we can connect a PHP page with MySQL server.

Following piece of code will help you to check whether your PHP web page has been connected with MySQL server or not.

Code 1:

<?php

$con=mysql_connect("localhost","root", "");

if(!$con)

{

        die('could not connect'. mysql_error());

}

 

mysql_select_db("roseindia",$con);

$result=mysql_query("select * from personal");

 

echo"<table border=1>";

echo"<tr><th>Employee ID</th><th>Address</th>";

while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))

{

        echo"<tr>";

        echo "<td>".$row['emp_id']."</td>"."<td>".$row['address']."</td>";

        echo "</tr>";

}

echo"</table>";

mysql_close($con);

?>

Output:

Name
Employee Id
emp01 new d
emp02 new d
emp03 new d
