easyphp can not connect to db

[studentici]

Me learning php easyph have version 3.7, easyphp not that easy to me so i have a question. I can connect to mysql but can not detect database, this must be a basic tweak for those who know the ropes.

<?php

$connection = mysql_connect('localhost','root','') ;
$database =  mysql_select_db('loginapp');

if($connection){ echo "CONNECTED" ; }
else {die('Error.');}

if($database){'DATABASE FOUND';}
else { die("DATABASE NOT FOUND");}


?>

 

  $connection = mysql_connect('localhost','root','') ;

WORKS

   $database =  mysql_select_db('loginapp');

DOES NOT WORK

so there is some confirmed connection.

My only guess is that there is no database named "loginapp".

You forgot an echo statement here, so this line of code won't show anything:

if($database){'DATABASE FOUND';}

You should not be using the mysql_* functions, they have long been deprecated in favor of proper secure database libraries, as of PHP 7 they have been completely removed.

For database operations, check out PDO http://php.net/PDO

<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "YOUR USERNAME";
$password = "LEAVE BLANK IF YOU HAVENT CREATED PASSWORD";

// if you don't  have  a db  just comment out  $dbname

//you will also need to remove it from  $conn=new  mysqli

//(make sure to take  off the  comma at the end of password)

$dbname = "YOUR DB NAME";

// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// you can remove the echo and add whichever kind of STATEMENT  you  like 
echo "Connected successfully";

mysqli_close($conn);
?>
