I’m using POD (php) to connect to mysql.
…
POD Script

<?php // Database connection // ================================================== $host = '127.0.0.1'; $user = 'server_436'; $password = 'harisree1'; $database_name = 'port_2538'; try { $pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=$host;dbname=$database_name", $user, $password); $pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); } catch (PDOException $e) { echo 'MySQL Error: ' . $e->getMessage(); die(); } ?>

…

The error…

Fatal error: Uncaught PDOException: could not find driver in /storage/ssd5/288/2329288/public_html/koneksi.php:2 Stack trace: #0 /storage/ssd5/288/2329288/public_html/koneksi.php(2): PDO->__construct(‘mssql:host=127…’) #1 /storage/ssd5/288/2329288/public_html/staff.php(3): include(’/storage/ssd5/2…’) #2 {main} thrown in /storage/ssd5/288/2329288/public_html/koneksi.php on line 2

wat to do?

#2

Host is localhost
Please correct it.
DBUser can be found in cPanel
DBName can be found in cPanel
DBPassword is the password you set when creating the database.

Hi @raaj!

Its not 000webhost’s mysql conection…!
its my server connection… which i am using to list things from it.

You have one MySQL database registered on your account: id2329288_sree. Locally, you can connect only to that one.

If you have another database hosted somewhere else, use the credentials from that database to connect to it

#6

You are accessing MSSQL from 000webhost server where 000webhost server only has MySQL driver, not MSSQL driver.

On most NON-Windows server there won’t be any MSSQL driver on it so when you pick a host that you want to use MSSQL driver you must pick a hosting provider that either support MSSQL driver or pay for Windows hosting.

He is also using wrong credentials.

I want to know what are creditnails?,
Do you mean FTP connection?

Wrong credentails…???

#9

I want to know what are creditnails?,

I mean the MySQL credentials.

Your credentials for 000webhost databases are located in 000webhost cPanel > Manage databases

If you have another database hosted somewhere else, use the credentials from that database to connect to it

I am using the other server credentials to connect to it… but 000webhost shows error(which u can see in that POD script which i posted).

but when i use it , it shows that error… But at first it was working fine, Now recently its not working.

Finally I mean , the host - 000webhost
Server - other DB

i am using other server DB. which 000webhost doesn’t support… Clearly i’m using Mysql only not others like Sql , mssql…

Is your MySQL database hosted on 000webhost?
