Dedicated Server Hosting

It is not necessary to include a module as PHP contains native MySQL connection support. However, a MySQL database can be accessed on Dedicated server Hosting using all of the programming languages available on the server.

Follow the steps given below to access MySQL database on a Linux Dedicated server :-

1) First, login to the Linux web server using Secure Shell.

2) Type the following connection string to connect to your database:

<?php
$link = mysql_connect(‘host‘, ‘username‘, ‘password‘) or die(‘Could not connect: ‘ . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db(‘database‘) or die(‘Could not select database’);
?>

- host: enter the MySQL server that you are assigned to, for example, mysql4.dedicatedserverhostingonline.com

- username: enter the username provided for your database

- password: enter the password provided for your database

- database: enter the name of the MySQL database
