Apps Android phone connect to phpmysql server in laptop windows8 issue

[chkm8]

I folks, i'm having bad issue in my program.I created a simple apps that will just put products in the database(phpmysql) and display. It works well if I run it through my emulator in my laptop but when I transfer it (the .apk file) into the android phone. I could not connect to the database. I already changed the IP into the IP address of my laptop.

Maybe you encounter such issue before, im looking forward for your advice.

thanks

Port 3306 isn't blocked anywhere, is it?

No, its not blocked. but thanks any way, I was able to found a solution and I also want to share this to everyone who might encounter this issue. In my connect.php, when i used the emulator in my laptop I used "localhost" to connect to the server its working but when I tried to transfer it into the android phone it will not work, it cannot find the "localhost". What I did, was I changed the localhost into "127.0.0.1" and it works.
