my php code is
[php]
<?php

$password = "mypass";
$hostname = "localhost" ;
$dbh = mysql_connect($ localhost, $myuser, $mypass)
or die("Unable to connect to MySQL");
print "Connected to MySQL<br>";
// you're going to do lots more here soon
mysql_close($db h);
?>[/php]

Should it not be better to do this:
[php]
$username = "myuser";
$password = "mypass";
$hostname = "localhost" ;
$dbh = mysql_connect($ hostname, $username, $password)
[/php]

hi,

if you have uncommented the php_mysql.dll you should have the libmysql.dll and php_mysql.dll on your php root folder.

and try to use code something like this.

<?
mysql_connect(' hostname', 'username', 'password') or die('error : '.mysql_error);
echo 'Successfully connected to MySql Server';
?>

although it's the same as your coding but i just preffer using something like that code hehehe..

bye -- bye
