If you want to connect a MySQL server with a non-default port number, you need to use the "mysql_connect($server)" function with $server in the format of "hostName:portNubmber". The tutorial exercise below shows you how to connect to localhost at port number 8888:
<?php
$con = mysql_connect('localhost:8888');
if (!$con) {
print("There is a problem with MySQL connection.\n");
} else {
print("The MySQL connection object is ready.\n");
mysql_close($con);
}
?>
But this will not work, even you got the right port number, if your server requires user account authentication. In that case, It will give this output:
PHP Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in fyi_cener.php on line 2 There is a problem with the MySQL connection.
