I am using following code to connect to an sql database on a web hosting server. I am facing the error
Warning: mysqli::mysqli(): (HY000/2002): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) in /srv/disk7/2067595/www/envoycc.atwebpages.com/DB_Connect.php on line 10
The 10th line is $this->conn = new mysqli(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_DATABASE);

localhostto their servers???.awardspace.net. They probably don't allow remote connections for free hosting, if that's what you're signed up with.getUserByEmailAndPassword()no way to tell what that does. Sorry, but your question is unclear and missing too much code, the query, etc.
