jwalter007 Says:

Nov 7, 2011 - I got it working. I had to name my database game1. For some reason game would not show up as a database. So when i entered the update string I was using my database nae of game1 instead of table name of game.Im all set now :-)

Feb 7, 2012 - Try not to use "local" as sql host

ITSplit Says:

Feb 7, 2012 - thank you for the answer but... 000webhost says: "Important: MySQL Host for any database in this account is mysql6.000webhost... , do not use localhost!"I'dont understand, because I'm new here :(

jillheden Says:

Feb 11, 2012 - Before, I used 000webhost, and when I tried to use localhost, it didn't work. So I found a host adress that I type in and it worked beutifly!

Feb 27, 2012 - Hey there... Question from Greece B-) So, do I have to pay (f.i. host_monster) to have my database "example" as seen on the -really nice- tutorials OR I r there any kind of free stuff that' s OK for this? For now, I just copy what I see in order to get familiar...

Mar 14, 2012 - I got the error:mysql_select_db() expects parameter 2 to be resource, object givenBECAUSE I used mysqli_connect instead of mysql_connect.Little heads up if anyone else gets this.

Tibly Says:

Mar 18, 2012 - so I must purchase hostmonster to have a server? do to this lesson? I'm confused, please help

TheBuffMe Says:

Mar 19, 2012 - not necessarily. You can host your own web server by web server software such as Apache. But since it's kinda confusing to set up an Apache server, lot of people just use xampp or apm-setup. I believe bucky's first php tutorial explains how to install xampp.

Tibly Says:

Mar 19, 2012 - thank you bro, I know that I'm missing this step, so I can't go any further for tthis tutorial. I can''t download xamp, everytime I download it. localhost/xampp. it won't work

docdelusion Says:

Apr 9, 2012 - ok I was good until this video. It seems that my 000webhost is different from your hostmonster host. How do I connect with a 000webhost?

Bitsiko Says:

Apr 14, 2012 - as far as i remember 000webhost doesn't use localhost but some other server. i don't remember it right now, but if you go to the where you created your database it will give you the url to which you have to connect. Replace it with localhost and believe you'll be okey.

Apr 17, 2012 - localhost/phpmyadminapache and MySql should be running

May 12, 2012 - "cant connect :Access denied for user 'database'@'%' to database 'database_game'" Its with the admin account I dont know why this is happening

politicaltruth42 Says:

May 23, 2012 - i dont see it...is it really there lol??

politicaltruth42 Says:

May 23, 2012 - awesomeeeeeeee!!! if you get errors while using XAMPP make sure when you create a username that you put in localhost as the host in the text field.
