Connection to database problem

[charles8555]

hello..everyone..i got the very weird problem with my connection to database..currently i doing some program with php and mysql, and i use include 'db.inc'; file for every php file where i want to query to the database..ok here is my problem...because of the covenience i use statment like

i declare the variable as

$hostName = "localhost";

$username = "root";

$password = "123";

$databaseName = "testing";

at my db.inc file

$connection = mysql_connect($hostName, $username, $password);
 mysql_select_db($databaseName, $connection);

 

but when i try to connect it give me an error message like this..

Error 1045 : Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

 

but i when i replace the above statment like below

    if(!($connection = @ mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "123")))
      die("Cannot connect2");

    if(!(mysql_select_db("testing", $connection)))
      showerror();

 

it is same thing isn't it...but i jus get the erro when i replace the above statement..

can anyone help me to figure it out..thanks..for viewing this thread..

double check your using the correct password, i am assuming ur doing it on your local machine so that souldnt be much of a problem, also can u login to the database with those user/pass if u can then make sure the inc file is correctly included
