requinix Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 As you've highlighted, you're using mysqli_connect() in one place and mysql_* functions in the rest. Which means the default username/password combination is valid to connect to your database (since the mysql_* functions did that automatically since you tried to use them without connecting first) and you shouldn't let that happen.
