How to connect with MySQL

Both the popular PDO and MySQLi libraries are available on all accounts and PHP versions, which are the libraries all (modern) scripts use to connect to a MySQL database. However, to use a database, you need to configure a few things first. Before you can use a database, you need to create the database first. You can create a database through your control panel in the section called MySQL Databases. Simply enter a desired name in the text box and click Create Database. To use the database with…

Especially this

@kanderson18

mysql_connect(“localhost”,“root”,“”)or die(mysql_error(‘cannot connect’));

Using localhost is definitely wrong

This was just a suggested code to get more details on what was causing the error, and was what provided the more detailed error code about the ‘fatal error’. When I remove it, the error message is the HTTP Error 500.

[Admin]

The problem is that you’re using mysql_* style functions. These are the “old fashioned” way to connect to MySQL, which were removed from PHP starting PHP 7, which was released almost 10 years ago. In other words: this code won’t won’t work on any remotely modern system.

Is this your code? If so, please consider updating it to use the MySQLi or PDO functions instead (but I recommend MySQLi, it’s most similar). And please consider upgrading your development environment too, our hosting runs on PHP 8.2, and using the same or at least similar PHP versions will help to avoid incompatibilities like this.

If it’s not your code, then I recommend you replace this software with something more modern.

As a last resort, you should know that premium hosting come with the ability to select your PHP version, including PHP 5.x versions which still support this code. But making sure your code runs on modern PHP versions is still the smart thing to do long term.

This all works perfectly when I use my localhost but when I try to use Cyberduck to open through my infinityfree site, it gives me the above error.

Can infinityfree / my code pull the database directly from MyPHPAdmin account (root)?
