Php mysql query problem

I have now tried for a couple of days to get a php-script to read from mysql-database. When I load the page I get this error: Could not connect: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: hostname nor servname provided, or not known.

I attach the script

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Hello,

Well, I understand you have a DB server which URL is "database.my.site" ? Or, do you replace the variables with your own data ?

Hi,

yes, I don't want to give away too much.

I use the same settings as I do in the email-form to data, there it works

Thanks. So perhaps is it the "server port" that is missing. For ex: "database.my.site:5345"

Have you already tried this ?

Problem solved...

I really don't know what was wrong.

But now it works. the mysql_connect statement works now.

mysql_select_db should only use tablename as parameter.
