Completely different function call(). mysql_connect() - the port is part of the host. *server* The MySQL server. It can also include a port number. e.g. "hostname:port" or a path to a local socket e.g. ":/path/to/socket" for the localhost. If the PHP directive mysql.default_host<itss://chm/res/mysql.configuration.html#ini.mysql.default-host>is undefined (default), then the default value is 'localhost:3306'. In SQL safe mode <itss://chm/res/ini.core.html#ini.sql.safe-mode>, this parameter is ignored and value 'localhost:3306' is always used. mysqli_connect() - the port is a parameter. I think you got the answers to the question you asked.
