Getting connection failed: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known
Thanks Prerak,
This is the answer, my database is on the same machine so I just needed to edit:
$servername = "localhost"
Now everything is working just fine.
The value you've specified for $servername
is not a host name but rather a URL, or resource name. The host name would be just www.url.com
.
Of course, as you've already discovered, localhost
is the correct host name if the client and server reside on the same box.
