I am trying to connect to RDS from my localhost and ec2 server.
I can connect fine with MySQL Workbench 5.2 CE but i cant seem to connect with PHP.
They are in the same zone and security group.
$dbName = "*******-****.***************.**-****-*.rds.amazonaws.com:3306";
$dbTable = "myTable";
$dbUser = "myUser";
$dbPass = "*********";
define("HOST", $dbName);
define("DBUSER", $dbUser);
define("PASS", $dbPass);
define("DB", $dbTable);
$conn = new mysqli(HOST, DBUSER, PASS, DB) or die();
these are the errors
Warning: mysqli::mysqli() [<a href='mysqli.mysqli'>mysqli.mysqli</a>]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known.
Warning: mysqli::mysqli() [<a href='mysqli.mysqli'>mysqli.mysqli</a>]: [2002] php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known. (trying to connect via tcp://*******-****.***************.**-****-*.rds.amazonaws.com:3306)
Warning: mysqli::mysqli() [<a href='mysqli.mysqli'>mysqli.mysqli</a>]: (HY000/2002): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known.
the endpoint works fine as i said with the client, not on browser.
but what does this error mean, and how would i start debugging this?
