AyKay47 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 sounds like your mysql_connect credentials are incorrect.. double check the credentials and keep character casing in mind..

Carbon Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 sounds like your mysql_connect credentials are incorrect.. double check the credentials and keep character casing in mind.. could you explain more please ? how to check these credentials? thank you $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.

coder_ Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Could it be that you forgot to set mysql credentials so only default are valid? Try with this: user: root pass: - (leave this empty) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/245042-a-total-noob-here/#findComment-1258626 Share on other sites More sharing options...
