In 99% percent of the cases, your host is localhost

CODE
$host['naam'] = localhost;


and instead of just returning some text in case of an error, die with this:
CODE
die(mysql_error())


Also, the link to your website isn't working.

like wutske said:
if you change the
CODE
OR die ('Cant connect to the database');
to
CODE
OR die (mysql_error());
you will get more information about what's wrong with your code.

I think that this error happens because of the server name parameter, as wutske said use localhost instead.

The database server name parameter is a string that can include the port number the MySql server will use in case it is necesary. Also, you can use a path to a local socket ":/path/to/socket" for the localhost or even an IP number. So, the following ones are valid strings which you can use to specify your MySql server name:
  • localhost
  • localhost:3306
  • example.com
  • example.com:3307
  • /tmp/mysql.sock
  • localhost:/tmp/mysql.sock
  • 127.0.0.1
  • 127.0.0.1:3306
For more information visit the mysql_connect() php function page, and if you need the exactly mysql error number use the mysql_error() function, like:

CODE
<?php
$db = mysql_connect($host['naam'], $host['gebruikersnaam'], $host['wachtwoord']) OR die("Mysql Error: " . mysql_errno() . " - " . mysql_error());
?>

Generally i use a function when i need to connect to any database, and instead using the die() php function i use the exit() php function when an error is generated. Here is my general database connection function:

CODE
<?php
function dbconn($server,$uname,$upwd,$dbname) {
    if(!($link=mysql_connect($server,$uname,$upwd))) {
        $errorText = mysql_error();
        $errorNum = mysql_errno();
        echo "Connection to the database server fails.<br />MySql says:<br />Error Number: $errorNum<br />Error Message: $errorText";
        exit();
    }
    if (!mysql_select_db($dbname,$link)) {
        $errorText = mysql_error();
        $errorNum = mysql_errno();
        echo "Database selection fails.<br />MySql says:<br />Error Number: " . $errorNum . "<br />Error Message: " . $errorText";
        mysql_close();
        exit();
    }
    return $link;
}

$host['naam'] = 'CENSORED';                // my host
$host['gebruikersnaam'] = 'righto';       // my database username
$host['wachtwoord'] = 'CENSORED';   // my database password
$host['databasenaam'] = 'odinms';       // my database name

// To connect you can use this way
$conn = dbconn($host['naam'],$host['gebruikersnaam'],$host['wachtwoord'],$host['databasenaam']);

// or this way too
dbconn($host['naam'],$host['gebruikersnaam'],$host['wachtwoord'],$host['databasenaam']);
?>

Best regards,

Yes it is, the first url opens an ad-page so don't waste your time visiting it, only the second url is useful.

  8. Mysql And User File_priv
    (0)
    HI, I've hit the grain while trying to import file to mysql database - I need to enable file
    permissions of the database user but this seems not possible with most of the hosting providers.
    The problem is to set file_priv of the database user to "Y" . This is done in the "user" table of
    the maintanance database named "mysql". cPanel doesn't allow this. Via the cPanel you can only
    allow privileges on table querries but you cannot grant host file privileges to the database user -
    which makes querries like: "LOAD DATA INFILE 'filename' INTO TABLE tablen....
