Question
How do I connect to a DO managed MySQL DB from a PHP script using mysqli_connect ?
Hi,
I created a managed MySQL cluster, but I’m having problems connecting to it from my PHP script. I can’t seem to find a tutorial online yet.
How do I connect to a DO managed MySQL DB from PHP using mysqli_connect ?
Normally, I connect using syntax like:
$con = mysqli_connect("hostname", "user", "password", "database");
mysqli_set_charset($con, "utf8");
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Wyatt
