How can I connect to a db4free.net database with PHP?

Question

I made a db on db4free.net, and I want to connect to it with php:

$username = myusername; 
$password = mypw; 
$host = \"db4free.net:3306\"; 
$dbname = mydbna         


        

Answer 1

Don't set the port at the end of the hostname. 3306 is indeed the default port for mysql connection anyway.
