I am new to database. I was trying to connect mysql server with php code. But I don’t know why I am getting error for connection.(I tried in windows changing the “localhost:8080” to “localhost” and it worked perfectly.)
MyCode:
<?php $link = mysqli_connect("localhost:8080","root","","test1"); if($link === false){ die("Error: Could not connect. ".mysqli_connect_error()); }

Answer
localhost:8080
is for you web server. If your MySQL server runs on default settings, use port 3306. localhost:3306
.
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost:3306","root","","test1");
Hope this helps you.
