paul2463 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 your error is saying it cannot conect to the database with the perameters you have given it as you have already set variables with the strings required to connect to the database try this <?php mysql_connect($host, $username, $password)or die("cannot connect"); ?> EDIT: if that doesnt work check that the login details are correct too Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/39772-cant-connect-to-mysql-db/#findComment-192047 Share on other sites More sharing options...
