When I try to connect to my database by php gives this error: Warning: mysqli_connect(): (HY000/2002): An attempt to turn it on failed because the connected component n answered correctly ap s a per-time, or the set set failed because the host on n answered it. in C: xampp htdocs index.php on line 15 Connection failed: An attempt to turn it on failed because the component on n correctly answered ap s a per odo of time, or the league the established failed because the host on n answered it.

how can I proceed?

<?php
        $servername = "*****";
        $username = "****";
        $password = "*****";

        $conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password);

        if (!$conn) {
            die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
        }
        echo "Connected successfully";
    ?>

The database is not on the computer but on my company network

Answer 1

This error happens because you must not be able to access the server.

The first thing is to take a test of telnet

In the prompt dos

telnet $servername 3306 

If you are using for the $servername the server name and not the IP (hostname) maybe you need to set up the etc/hosts or use the server IP to connect

First take the test of telnet and put the answer on the topic
