PHP: connect with external mysql database -


i want connect external database using php. but, gives error

warning: mysql_connect(): can't connect mysql server on 'server_ip_address' (110) in /home/<username>/public_html/index.php on line 7 can't connect mysql server on 'server_ip_address' (110) 

here code.

define("_config_db_host", "server_ip_address");  /* database host name */ define("_config_db_name", "database_name");    /* database name */ define("_config_db_user", "database_username");    /* database username */ define("_config_db_pass", "database_password");    /* database password */   $con = mysql_connect(_config_db_host,_config_db_user,_config_db_pass) or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db(_config_db_name,$con) or die(mysql_error()); 

i've added entry remote database access hosts in host server

please guide me if i'm doing wrong.

make sure database_username has access you host (the machine running script) has access database_name on server_ip_address.

when grant access on database use use username@host form. here host means host username connecting from. keep localhost. becasue want connect user in localhost according mysql server. local host not mysql servers localhost. that's why host part needs changed.
