database connectin problem

[maverick_ph]

hi to everyone..

 

i need help with my php scripting..i just can't connect to my mysql database..the message was this.."Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in C:\xampp\htdocs\HR\checklogin.php on line 10

cannot connect"

 

i got the code from http://www.phpeasystep.com/workshopview.php?id=6

 

<?php

session_start();

$host="localhost"; // Host name

$username=""; // Mysql username

$password=""; // Mysql password

$db_name="test"; // Database name

$tbl_name="members"; // Table name

 

// Connect to server and select databse.

mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");

mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");

 

// Define $myusername and $mypassword

$myusername=$_POST['myusername'];

$mypassword=$_POST['mypassword'];

 

// To protect MySQL injection (more detail about MySQL injection)

$myusername = stripslashes($myusername);

$mypassword = stripslashes($mypassword);

$myusername = mysql_real_escape_string($myusername);

$mypassword = mysql_real_escape_string($mypassword);

 

$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword'";

$result=mysql_query($sql);

 

// Mysql_num_row is counting table row

$count=mysql_num_rows($result);

// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row

 

if($count==1){  $_SESSION['logged'] = true; 

header("location:login_success.php");  exit;}

else {

echo "Wrong Username or Password";

}

 

ob_end_flush();

?>

You have to define the username and password for the database.

 

You have:

$host="localhost"; // Host name
$username=""; // Mysql username
$password=""; // Mysql password
$db_name="test"; // Database name
$tbl_name="members"; // Table name 

 

When it should be:

$host="localhost"; // Host name
$username="somedatabaseusername"; // Mysql username
$password="somedatabasepassword"; // Mysql password
$db_name="test"; // Database name
$tbl_name="members"; // Table name
