A total noob here !

This is a code to create a database

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","peter","abc123");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

if (mysql_query("CREATE DATABASE my_db",$con))
  {
  echo "Database created";
  }
else
  {
  echo "Error creating database: " . mysql_error();
  }

mysql_close($con);
?>

 

and that is the error I am getting : Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'peter'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in C:\wamp\www\New folder\iji.php on line 2

Could not connect: Access denied for user 'peter'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Please help

sounds like your mysql_connect credentials are incorrect..

double check the credentials and keep character casing in mind..

$con = mysql_connect("localhost","peter","abc123");

 

You need to make sure you change 'peter' to your username and 'abc123' to your password you have set for mysql.

Could it be that you forgot to set mysql credentials so only default are valid?

 

Try with this:

 

user: root

pass:  - (leave this empty)
