DB Connectivity Error

<?php $servername = "localhost"; $username = "username"; $password = "password'; $database = "ytmp3_db"; // Create connection $conn = new mysqli($serverneme, $username, $password, $database); // Check connection if ($conn->connect_error) { die('Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error); } ?>
 

Hey everyone,

I hope you're all doing well. Recently, I've been using Ytmp3 Now, I've taken a look at the code snippet responsible for handling the database connection, and I can't seem to pinpoint what's causing the issue. Could there be something inherently wrong with this code? Or perhaps there's some data-related hiccup causing the problem?

Here are some additional details:

  • I've double-checked my database credentials, and they seem to be correct.
  • The server hosting the database is up and running without any apparent issues.
  • I've also tried restarting the server, just in case there was a temporary glitch, but the problem persists.

    I'm reaching out to the community in the hopes that someone might have encountered a similar issue or might have some insights into what could be causing this database connection error. Any help or suggestions you can provide would be immensely appreciated.

    Wasidigital , and what for an issue do you have; you haven't mentioned it in any way?

    I'm going to assume your formatting broke, and that there's actual line feeds in your code, so your comments are not what's breaking your connection.

     

    <?php 
$servername = "localhost"; 
$username = "username"; 
$password = "password'; 
$database = "ytmp3_db"; 
// Create connection 
$conn = new mysqli($serverneme, $username, $password, $database); 
// Check connection 
if ($conn->connect_error) {
 die('Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
} 
?>

     

    It appears as though you've mixed double and single quotes on your strings. You need to pick one and stick with it.

    $password = "password'
    die('Connection failed:" . $conn->connect_error)
