Greetings! Having kinda a weird problem here...
We are updating a website that uses forms and a database and we've done this once a year for the past 3 years. The man who was working on it before me created the whole elaborate thing and then he died so it put us in an awkward position... Anyway... We have this quote form and when people fill it out and click submit, the information gets sent to us and then we fill out his quote based on the information the customer provides and then we send them the quote to the email they have provided in the form. This is all done from a "database". Ok so now when I was filling out the quote form myself as a test and clicking submit, it says this...
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Unknown MySQL server host 'duser1.db.7927716.hostedresource.com' (0) in /home/content/76/12767976/html/backend/configHR.php on line 7
no can do
So by the looks of it something is wrong in MySQL, am I right? This is something I know very little about, but something isn't communicating it would seem. It has never done this before.
In case you wanted to know what it says in "configHR.php, it contains these lines of code...
$host = "duser1.db.7927716.hostedresource.com";
$username = "duser1";
$pass = "Dosaur1";
$database = "duser1";
mysql_connect($host,$username,$pass) or die('no can do');
mysql_select_db($database);
?>
I changed the names slightly so I wouldn't comprise our account...
Now it is important to point out that we recently needed to change the ftp username and password with GoDaddy in order to make changes to this website through Dreamweaver this year. Don't ask me why, they just made us, and after we reconnect to the website with the new username and password, this problem started occurring.
So what do you think?
Thanks so much.
