Question

I have this array that store the connection info and i want to use it when perform the query

$dblist = array();

$dblist[] = array(
        'host'=>'192.168.1.20',
        'username'=>'root',
        'password'=>'root1',
        'database'=>'unsubscribe_1',
        'table'=>'subscribers'
        );

$dblist[] = array(
        'host'=>'192.168.1.5',
        'username'=>'root',
        'password'=>'root2',
        'database'=>'unsubscribe_test',
        'table'=>'subscribers2'
        );


foreach($dblist as $list)
{
$host = $list['host'];
$username = $list['username'];
$password = $list['password'];
$db = $list['database'];
$tb = $list['table'];

$conn1 = mysql_connect($host,$username,$password) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($db,$conn1) or die(mysql_error());

$sql = "select * from $db";
$query = mysql_query($sql,$conn1) or die(mysql_error());    
}

The problem is i keep getting this error “Host ‘192.168.1.5’ is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server”

What is the problem here?

Answer 1

I assume Host ‘192.168.1.5’ is your local machine and you encounter this error when trying to connect to Host .20, You need to enable remote access for Host .5 on Host .20’s MySQl server.
