how to ignore domain name from username when connecting to mysql from php-CodePudding

I am connecting to a MySQL database using a PHP script. When the script runs from my hosting it works fine, connection successful. However when I run it from my local XAMP server to test it, it does not work. So I looked at the error and it says:

Warning: mysqli_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user 'username'@'somedomain.net' (using password: YES)


Script is as follows:
<?php
   $host = "somehost.com";
   $username  = "username";
   $passwd = "password";
   $dbname = "db";
   $port ="xxxx";

   
    // Create connection
    $con = mysqli_connect($host, $username, $password);

    // Check connection
    if (!$con) {
        die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
    }
    echo "Connected successfully";

?>

Somehow it is adding the DNS name from my local machine to the username. How do I ignore this?

Now that I added the host, I am getting this error:

Connection failed: Access denied for user 'username'@'somedomain.net' (using password: NO)

CodePudding user response：

I guess this is why you can not connect

Maybe one of these problems is you have:

you are not connected from somedomain.net
your password does not correct
your username does not access the database

The best solution in my mind is to add a new user for connecting to your database from your local machine.

This worked. The parameter 'passwd' was a typo and after I added the host name on remote host list it all worked fine thanks!
