hi,

 

i downloaded this tutorial:

 

[a href=\"http://www.plus2net.com/php_tutorial/php_signup.php\" target=\"_blank\"]PHP member signup script using mysql[/a]

 

it contains all the files. but when i tried to run it on my localhost, and typed in info into the signup page, i was given the following error:

 

Warning: Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in c:\phpdev\www\public\signupck.php on line 26

 

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in c:\phpdev\www\public\signupck.php on line 26

Could not connect to MySQL

 

im not sure what i did wrong. any suggestions as to how im suppose to connect the database? if you can help that would be great!

 

THanks,

This isn't really the place for third party scripts.

 

But, open up all the files that you download and at the top you should see something like tihs:

 

$dbservertype='mysql';
$servername='localhost';
// username and password to log onto db server
$dbusername='';
$dbpassword='';
// name of database
$dbname='sql_tutorial';

 

You need to fill those variables in with your information.

Firts off do actually have MySQL installd & then have you created your database. I do this sounds like a stupid question, but i've seen it happen.

 

If you have the standard

$db = mysql_connect(host, username,passowrd ) should get you a connection to mysql. You then have to connect to the actual database using

mysql_select_db(DbName,$db)

 

and then you're off. if you don't have mysql or you are having trouble creating a databse come back to us
