When trying to connect to my database server, i encounter the problem of unknown host:
Warning: mysqli::mysqli() [mysqli.mysqli]: (HY000/2005): Unknown MySQL server host 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx:port' in index.php on line 18
the line 18 is that line where i try to request to connection the the MySQL server:
$this->db = new mysqli($db_host, $db_user, $db_psw, $db_name);
I host my database on the 1&1 website hosting company.
This is usually the case when name resolving doesn’t work on the host. If your connect destination is always the same, you might want to use its IP address for connecting instead.
