problem with database connection

[mostafa581]

Dear friends

i,m a php beginner and i got a problem with connecting to my database

i created a database called (koora) with one table called (admins) and when i tried to connect to it (database ) ; it did not connect

here is the code i used for that

 

<?php

$connectdb = mysql_connect('localhost','','') or die("not connected");

$selectdb = mysql_select_db("koora", $connectdb);

 

if(!$selectdb)

{

die("error connecting table" .mysql_error());

 

}

 

then when refreshing my phpmyadmin page i got that message

 

error connecting tableAccess denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'koora'

 

koora is the name of the database

so i need your help with this problem and what is the reason not to connect to the data base

Thank you

You need a username. Try using the username root.

 

$connectdb = mysql_connect('localhost','root','') or die("fail");
$selectdb = mysql_select_db('koora',$connectdb);

i tried it before but it gave me that message

 

error connecting tableAccess denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'koora'

Then maybe access is really denied.  Did you confirm rights?

any user connecting to a MySQL database must have the proper login credentials to access the database. you must either set those login credentials (permissions) or find out what they are to use in this line:

 

$connectdb = mysql_connect('localhost','USERNAME????','PASSWORD????') or die("not connected");
