Php database connect problem

[banspad]

I get this error when I try to use my dbconnect.php

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: #07000(proxy) all backends are down

I have only made database connections on my localhost before so I am sure I am doing something wrong, my connect file is

<?php
		$con = mysql_connect("localhost","MyUsername","MyPassword");
		if (!$con) {
			die('Coulnd not connect: ');
		}
?>

Any help appreciated

It's probably a transient problem with the MySQL servers. If it persists, work through the many threads on this topic (you should always search before starting a new thread).

The old mysql driver is quite outdated, having been supplanted twice over. PDO is the modern extension to use. If you want a tutorial on its use, read "Writing MySQL Scripts with PHP and PDO."

Ok thanks, it must not have been my issue it worked once I came back on here
