Connecting to mysql database

Below is the code for creating mysql connection in java and php.
Please make sure that mysql-connector-java-5.0.6-bin.jar is in class path.

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;

public class MySqlConnectionTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Connection connection = null;

        try {
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
            // We want to connect to a database name 'test' in mysql.
            connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/test", "root", "root");

            if (!connection.isClosed()) {
                System.out.println("Successfully connected to MySQL server...");
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            try {
                if (connection != null) {
                    connection.close();
                }
           } catch (SQLException e) {
       }
    }
  }
}

Below is the code in php for mysql connection.

<?php
    $hostname='localhost'; //// specify host
    $user='root'; //// database user name
    $password='root'; //// database password
    $database='test'; //// database name
    $connection = mysql_connect("$hostname" , "$user" , "$passwprd")
    or die ("Unable connect to MySQL");
    $db = mysql_select_db($database , $connection) or die ("Can't find database.");
?>
