How to connect to MySQL database through PHP?

In PHP, we can connect to the database with the mysql_connect() function.


<?php


   mysql_connect("server","user","password") or  die(mysql_error());


?>


where "server" is the host name (usually 'localhost'), 
"user" and "password" is the username and password for that database respectively.
The "or die(mysql..." code displays an error message in your browser if --you've probably guessed it -- there is an error in processing the connection! Double-check your username, password, or server if you receive this error.
