I am using this script to connect to a database. But it is throwing me this exception. Need Help!
<?php
$servername = "xxxx";
$username = "xxxx";
$password = "xxxx";
try {
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=my_db", $username, $password);
// set the PDO error mode to exception
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
echo "Connected successfully";
}
catch(PDOException $e)
{
echo "Connection failed: " . $e->getMessage();
}
?>
The exception :
Warning: PDO::__construct(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known. in C:\xampp\htdocs\Sites\mysql\index.php on line 8
Connection failed: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known.
