im working on a website which mostly uses the database. the problem is that im geting the following error: mysqli_connect(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known
I cant figure out how to fix it. I've penta-checked the connect and it seems to be okay.
function connect($hostname, $username, $password, $database)
{
$conid = mysqli_connect($hostname, $username, $password, TRUE);
if($conid == FALSE)
{
if(DEBUG == TRUE)
{
show_error("MySQL Connection using `$hostname`, `$username`, `$password` was refused");
}
return;
}
else
{
$dbid = mysqli_select_db($database, $conid);
if($dbid == FALSE)
{
if(DEBUG == TRUE)
{
show_error("MySQL could not connect to database `$database`");
}
return;
}
else
{
self::$connections[] = $conid;
self::$connection = $conid;
}
}
}
The code is writen in 2010 and then somehow it worked. Is it possible to fixit?
