947740 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 You should set the password when you first install it. Yes, you will be on localhost. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/106319-using-mysql-locally/#findComment-544919 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 If you did not set a password when mysql was installed then you don't need to provide the password in the mysql_connect function. If you wish to set a password for the root account you can do so by MySQL Administrator (download from mysql.com) or you can use phpMyAdmin if you have it setup.
