Connect with PHP

You can connect to SingleStore via PHP using PHP Data Objects (PDO) or MySQLi.

To connect using PDO, you need to create a DSN from the host, port, and database name, and then pass the DSN to the PDO constructor along with the database username and password. For example,

Note

To read the connection information from the environment, use the $_SERVER['VAR_NAME'] notation.

PHP

<?php
    $host = $_SERVER['HOSTNAME'];
    $port = $_SERVER['PORT'];
    $user = $_SERVER['USERNAME'];
    $password = $_SERVER['PASSWORD'];
    $db = $_SERVER['DB_NAME'];
    $charset = 'utf8';

    $dsn = "mysql:host{$host};port={$port};dbname={$db};charset={$charset}";
    $pdo = new PDO($dsn, $user, $password);
?>

To connect using MySQLi, pass the host, username, password, database name, and port to the mysqli constructor. For example,

PHP

$link = new mysqli($_SERVER['HOSTNAME'], $_SERVER['USERNAME'], $_SERVER['PASSWORD'], $_SERVER['DB_NAME'], $_SERVER['PORT']);

Verification instructions

Note: You must install cosign to verify the authenticity of the SingleStore file.

Use the following steps to verify the authenticity of singlestoredb-server, singlestoredb-toolbox, singlestoredb-studio, and singlestore-client SingleStore files that have been downloaded.

You may perform the following steps on any computer that can run cosign, such as the main deployment host of the cluster.

(Optional) Run the following command to view the associated signature files.
Shell
```
curl undefined
```
Download the signature file from the SingleStore release server.
- Option 1: Click the Download Signature button next to the SingleStore file.
- Option 2: Copy and paste the following URL into the address bar of your browser and save the signature file.
- Option 3: Run the following command to download the signature file.
  Shell
```
curl -O undefined
```

After the signature file has been downloaded, run the following command to verify the authenticity of the SingleStore file.

Shell

echo -n undefined |
    cosign verify-blob --certificate-oidc-issuer https://oidc.eks.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/id/CCDCDBA1379A5596AB5B2E46DCA385BC \
      --certificate-identity https://kubernetes.io/namespaces/freya-production/serviceaccounts/job-worker \
      --bundle undefined \
