How do i connect my .php to phpmyadim?

Question

I need help on creating a basic log-in page and registration page. I only know the basic stuff on php. And my boss told me to use the database he created online (phpmyadmin). So how do I connect the .php file I created to the online database? I have experienced connecting it to a database. But not the one that's online. Any help please? Thank you!

Answer 1

if you know how to connect it to the local database, it's always the same: you need a server address (localhost, IP or domain), database name, username and password.

Answer 2

Firstly, PhpMyAdmin is not a database. It is a PHP based database admin tool to ease the management of databases so that you don't need to do the "boring" commandline interface stuff.

Assuming that it's actually just a MySQL database, then you can connect it using mysql_connect().
