PHP Connection Error; Not allowed to connect to MySQL Server

Question

I am trying to make a registration page where it adds the information to a SQL Table. Here is my PHP code to do this... Can anyone tell me what the error with this is?

<?php
$con=mysqli_connect("Correct Website is here","Correct Username","Correct Pass","Correct DB");
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}

$DBsql = mysql_query("SELECT username, email from Profiles");
$sql = mysql_fetch_array($DBsql);

if(!($_POST['username'] == $sql['username']) && ($_POST['email'] == $sql['email'])) {
 if ($_POST['password'] == $_POST['password2']){      
  $sql="INSERT INTO Profiles (firstName, lastName, username, email, password, region, group, verified)
  VALUES
  ('$_POST[firstname]','$_POST[lastname]','$_POST[username]','$_POST[email]','$_POST[password]','$_POST[region]','member','no')";
 }else{
     echo '<script type="text/javascript">'
   , 'window.alert("The passwords do not match.")'
   , '</script>';
 }
} else {
    echo '<script type="text/javascript">'
   , 'window.alert("That username or email is already in use.")'
   , '</script>';
}

 mysqli_close($con);
?>

It's giving these errors:

Warning: mysqli_connect() [function.mysqli-connect]: (HY000/1130): Host '31.170.161.96' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server in /home/a5349216/public_html/register.php on line 2

Warning: mysqli_close() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, boolean given in /home/username/public_html/register.php on line 27

Thanks in advanced.

Answer 1

If your mysql database is not on the same server(localhost) you need to give it access from a remote server for that mysql user/database for your server. See this article for some steps that might help you. It sounds like it might be remote.

Create new php file, just test with below syntax. let me know your error.

$con=mysqli_connect("Correct Website is here","Correct Username","Correct Pass","Correct DB");
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
