Connect to an external MySQL server with PDO (without delay)

[Remix]

Add one space between mysql: and host (server IP address or dns name)
ex: "mysql: "

Code: [Select]

$conn = new PDO('mysql:host=123.4.5.6;dbname=test_db;port=3306','username','password');
?>

it will fail no matter what. However if you put a space between mysql: and host like this:

$conn = new PDO('mysql: host=123.4.5.6;dbname=test_db;port=3306','username','password');
?>
