PHP-MySQL Connection

Hello i'm come back again, but now with PHP - MySQL Basic Tutorial.

Here we discuss about PHP MySQL Connection. The PHP Programmer usually know about this. There was mysql_connect and mysqli_connect. The function mysql_connect and mysqli_connect actually have same objectives to provide a database connection, but mysqli_connect is newer version of mysql_connect.

So here is the code :

<?php
   $hostname = "localhost";
   $username = "root";
   $password = "picas";
   $database = "mydb";

   $conn = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password)
           or die("Connection fail ...");
   mysql_select_db($database, $conn);
?>

<?php
   $link = mysqli_connect (localhost, root, picas, mydb);
?>


The  mysqli_connect have shorter code than mysql_connect, and not using mysql_select_db.
