I’m creating a WWW-page in http://www.freehostingcloud.com. I created a database of the name sample. But how can I connect to it in MySQL and PHP? I saw from PHP.net that I should type
mysqli = new mysqli('localhost', 'my_user', 'my_password', 'my_db');
OK, so my_db=sample but what are those parameters ‘localhost’, ‘my_user’ and ‘my_password’?
They are the host, username and password required to access your database. Localhost means your computer aka
127.0.0.1, the others are the users you create in your local db.
