I tried to use a test php code to test the database link between the website and the database and this is my code:
<?php
$dbhost = 'localhost';
// your database username.
$dbusername = 'superrandompuppy_redboy';
// the password that corresponds to the above username.
$dbpasswd = 'password for username';
// the database name that your username is associated with.
$database_name = 'superrandompuppy_user';
$connection = mysql_connect("$dbhost","$dbusername","$dbpasswd")
or die ("Couldn't connect to server.");
$db = mysql_select_db("$database_name", $connection)
or die("Couldn't select database.");
// we write this later on, ignore for now.
include('check_login.php');
?>
This is the error I keep getting:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'superrandompuppy'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /www/uuuq.com/s/u/p/superrandompuppy/htdocs/db_connect.php on line 18
Couldn't connect to server.
Is there something wrong I keep typing into my script? If so, I would appreciate letting me know what your thoughts on the fix would be. Thanks.
