Error 1064

[KeithF]

I'm new at working with MySQL, and while uploading my database to the server i recieved the following error;

 

#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '<?

 

$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "D3f14nc3") or die(mysql_error()' at line 1

 

<?

/**
* Connect to the mysql database.
*/
$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('Defiance', $conn) or die(mysql_error());

?>

 

Obviously where i have the words username and password, i have my username and password. What's wrong with my code? Thanks in advance for any help.

O.O  woah...

 

Wait, are you trying to run that code in MySQL? That's PHP code.

Ok, like i said i'm totally new at this  :-\ and i thought to set up a password/login system for your website that you had to place your database php in your MySQL on your server. Have i got this totally wrong?

PHP and MySQL are different. PHP is a programming language. MySQL is a database.

 

I would look up a log in system and see how they do it. Go from there.
