Mysql_connect()

1. Install MySQL: Ensure MySQL server is installed and running on your system. You can download it from the official MySQL website and follow the installation instructions provided.
   Or you can use the Portable MySQL server feature of ExeOutput.
2. Configure MySQL in your PHP Script:

• Make sure your PHP script is designed to connect to a MySQL database. Typically, you would use mysqli or PDO_MySQL extensions for this purpose.
• Example using mysqli:
  
  Code:

   $servername = "localhost";
   $username = "username";
   $password = "password";
   $dbname = "database";
  
   // Create connection
   $conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
  
   // Check connection
   if ($conn->connect_error) {
       die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
   }
   echo "Connected successfully";

• Example using PDO:
  
  Code:

   $dsn = 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=database';
   $username = 'username';
   $password = 'password';
  
   try {
       $dbh = new PDO($dsn, $username, $password);
       echo "Connected successfully";
   } catch (PDOException $e) {
       echo 'Connection failed: ' . $e->getMessage();
   }

  3. Configure ExeOutput for PHP to Include MySQL Extension:
• Open ExeOutput for PHP.
• Go to PHP Settings → PHP Extensions.
• Ensure that the php_mysqli and/or php_pdo_mysql extensions are enabled. Right click on these extensions to enable them.
• No need to edit the PHP.INI yourself.

4. Build Your Application:

Click to expand...

• Once everything is configured, build your application as an executable using ExeOutput for PHP.
• Run the generated executable and test the MySQL connection to ensure everything is working correctly.
