Connect by PHP on the localhost to MySQL

[koubis]

I have tried to connect to the MySQL server running on localhost by PHP, but I could not connect to it. Can I use "localhost" as the name of the server, or do I need to use any special address or something?

Can also anyone help me to find real tutorial how to operate MySQL ? I have found only instalation guides and spec. how to set up the soft before running it, but I cant really use it for operating the server. Newbie in SQL language

Thank you a lot!

If you are on the SEVEN server, you will need to use "mysql01" (zero-one) as the server name, as SEVEN does not have a MySQL server installed - all databases are now on the dedicated MySQL server...

As for tutorials - http://www.DevShed.com/ has some really good ones on MySQL, as does http://www.WebMonkey.com/

Hope this helps.
