如何连接MYSQL数据库？

假设您的mysql数据库资料如下：
MYSQL数据库名: test
MYSQL帐号：public_test1
MYSQL密码：test2
免费赠送三级域名：test.u8.1358.net

MYSQL数据库的管理:
请您首先下载PhpMyAdmin软件，将此文件包解压，找到其中的一个文件:
config.inc.php(或者如config.*等, 该文件名会因phpmyadmin版本不同, 而有所差别)
修改以下配置:
$cfgServers[1]['host'] = 'localhost'; // MySQL hostname
$cfgServers[1]['port'] = ''; // MySQL port - leave blank for default port
$cfgServers[1]['socket'] = ''; // Path to the socket - leave blank for default socket
$cfgServers[1]['connect_type'] = 'tcp'; // How to connect to MySQL server ('tcp' or 'socket')
$cfgServers[1]['stduser'] = ''; // MySQL standard user settings (this user must have read-only
$cfgServers[1]['stdpass'] = ''; // access to the "mysql/user" and "mysql/db" tables)
$cfgServers[1]['adv_auth'] = FALSE; // Use advanced authentication?
$cfgServers[1]['user'] = 'public_test1'; // MySQL user
$cfgServers[1]['password'] = 'test2'; // MySQL password (only needed with basic auth)
$cfgServers[1]['only_db'] = 'test'; // If set to a db-name, only this db is displayed at left frame

然后您ftp到您的网站, 在htdocs下建立一个目录phpmyadmin, 把phpmyadmin所有文件上传到该目录下，访问http://test.u8.1358.net/phpmyadmin, 即可管理您的数据库了.
在您建好您的数据库表后, 记得把phpmyadmin的文件移走或者改phpmyadmin目录名, 否则便让任何人都可以管理您的数据库了.

您如果用php编程, 可以用以下代码连接数据库:
<?php
$database = "test";
$user = "public_test1";
$password = "test2";
$link = mysql_connect ("localhost", $user, $password)
or die ("Could not connect");
mysql_select_db($database, $link);

..........

mysql_close ($link);
?>

您如果用perl编程, 可以用如下代码连接数据库:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use DBI;
$database = "test";
$user = "public_test1";
$password = "test2";
$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:$database", $user, $password);

...........

$rc = $dbh->disconnect;
