Connect nodemcu with 000webhost database - c

Question

i want to connect nodemcu with 000webhost database.for that i have built php file on my website file manager. whenerver i make http request through web browser it works properly.means it perform its function properly. but whenever i try to make http request through nodemcu it doesn't works!!
my nodemcu code:
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>
#include <ESP8266HTTPClient.h>
#define WIFI_SSID "imayank2"
#define WIFI_PASSWORD "123456789"
void setup() {
Serial.begin(74880);
wifiConnect();
}
void loop()
{
HTTPClient http; //Declare an object of class HTTPClient
http.begin("mywebsite address\dataenter.php"); //Specify request destination
int httpCode = http.GET(); //Send the request
if (httpCode > 0) { //Check the returning code
String payload = http.getString(); //Get the request response payload
Serial.println(payload); //Print the response payload
}
http.end(); //Close connection
delay(5000);
}
void wifiConnect()
{
WiFi.begin(WIFI_SSID, WIFI_PASSWORD); // Connect to the network
Serial.print("Connecting to ");
Serial.print(WIFI_SSID);
Serial.println(" ...");
int teller = 0;
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED)
{ // Wait for the Wi-Fi to connect
delay(1000);
Serial.print(++teller);
Serial.print(' ');
}
Serial.println('\n');
Serial.println("Connection established!");
Serial.print("IP address:\t");
Serial.println(WiFi.localIP()); // Send the IP address of the ESP8266 to the computer
}
output:
nothing only connected with my wifi , not payload

The web server is using virtual hosts. Unless you tell it to which virtual host are you making a request, the server won't know where to send the request and generate an error.
You need to add the required header Host, which tell it just that.
client.println("Host: ADDRESS.000webhostapp.com");
But I don't know how to do that with your library so here is my solution:
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
//Setting Wifi information
const char* ssid = "SSID"; //your SSID
const char* password = "PASSWORD"; //your Password
WiFiClient client;
void setup() {
// initialization of communication via serial line at 9600 baud
Serial.begin(9600);
//connect to wifi
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
Serial.print("Connecting");
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED){
delay(500);
Serial.print(".");
}
Serial.println("");
Serial.print("Connected to WiFi network with IP Address: ");
Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
}
void loop() {
//connect to server
if (client.connect("ADDRESS.000webhostapp.com", 80)) {
Serial.println("connected");
// Make a HTTP request:
Serial.print("GET /index.php?tempV=20.1");
client.print("GET /index.php?tempV=20.1"); //YOUR URL
client.print(" "); //SPACE BEFORE HTTP/1.1
client.print("HTTP/1.1");
client.println();
client.println("Host: ADDRESS.000webhostapp.com");
client.println("Connection: close");
client.println();
} else {
// if you didn't get a connection to the server:
Serial.println("connection failed");
}
// end client connection
client.stop();
}
