I just realized, information never dies! This video is 8 years old and turns out this information is exactly what i needed and how i needed it in 2022 😮‍💨. Thank you dude!

This tutorial was not only exactly what I needed but well explained, clear, and slow but concise, thanks a lot!

Thank you! :) I was trying to connect html form to my database, wasn't working. But it's perfect now. Simple and correct video.

It was a day saver for me! I tried 5-7 another PHP ways connect to the database on latest versions XAMPP Unsuccessfully. This video obviously showed the right way. Thank You very much.

Very Helpful thank you! As someone who struggles with learning PHP I thought this was one the best videos I've seen in a while. If you haven't done so would you consider doing a beginner PHP / MySqL Tutorial Series for phpMyAdmin. Preferably focus on more the PHP aspect but general overview of the others would amazing also.

Thank you for this video! My course notes weren't complete for the starting part and connection. This video saved me from a lot of headaches. The start is definitely the most difficult part.

Getting started can be intimidating. Very happy to help!

Thanks for making this video. I just started fooling around with MySQL and was following another tutorial that didn't explain this part at all.

Thank you Ken. I have just started learning php. This video is of great help to me to create my database and first php program.

+Ken Swartwout What should I do when I don't have a hosting (yet)?

@KenSwartwout

+GoatSkills If you don't have a host, then a tool like XAMPP is exactly what you need. XAMPP (or similar tools) turn your local machine into a host.

cool cool cook i watched a 100's of video regarding this, but all of that video no going success you are only the one who make it success 100% thank you so much voice tone amazing!!! i appreciate this video since 2013

which program are you using in notepad++ to 'RUN' the php code? i lick run and it asks me to choose a program to run it. i dont know which program to choose.

No comments pointing out he used the $db variable twice? (Once to store the dbname and again to create the connection). Either way good video as this bit of information is often overlooked in the classroom...

very helpful. simple and great!

For learning right click the XAMPP ICON and select" Run as Administrator", otherwise its easy to end up locked out. Thanks for the vid.

hi sir I want to change MariaDB to Mysql on xampp. plz tell me.

I've made a website but I cant save the data in the database which was entered by the user(me) in the website. I'm wondering whats wrong.

10 years later I am watching these videos. Real G(Old) videos.

it does not kick me to phpmyadmin HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found. what can i do?

You're love man and of course KZread is love. Thanks

I got this 'Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'new' (T_NEW) in C:\xampp\htdocs', solution please ?

I started with these: define('DB_NAME', 'test'); /** Username MySQL */ define('DB_USER', 'root'); /** Password to the database MySQL */ define('DB_PASSWORD', ''); /** The server name MySQL */ define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); And I get this messange: Could not establish database connection. Please check the username, password and hostname in the config file, and if necessary set up the appropriate MySQL user and privileges. Any idea?

Great work! Thank you!
