[sendy]

I have searched google and didnt find any good explanation , i dont know if my keywords were wrong or what, but here's the question:

how to put php script outside root?
-assume i have root C:/xampp/htdocs
-i put my html/php to display homepage in htdocs/home.php
-then i put my database connection script outside htdocs, i put it in C:/xampp/database/mysqli_connect.php
-after that i use :

Code: Select all

 include("../database/mysqli_connect.php")

in the htdocs/home.php, but i got errors saying : php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known

how to do this correctly?
