THEK Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Hi, I'm trying to connect to a database on a port other than 3306 to create a database. Here's my connect code: $connection = new MySQLi($host,$user,$pass) But according to the PHP website it says I can lay the code out like so: new MySQLi($host,$user,$pass,$database,$port) But how do I specify the port without the database? I've tried just "" as the database but the connection still fails. Any help would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 How about using null? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGuyWithAthing Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 you could set the host to "127.0.0.1:3307" or w/e port you want to use? Dunno if that will work but it "should". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was what I had but it said unknown host. How about using null? This worked perfectly. I was putting it in quotes but it only works without them.
