connecting to DB Prob

[PunkGo]

hey, trying to make a regular form but when i use this command

<?php 

mysql_connect("localhost", "punkgo") or 
die ("Could not connect to database"); 
mysql_select_db("users") or 
dir ("Could not select database"); 

if ($submit = "Register") 
{ 
$query = "insert into user 
(username, password) values ('$username', '$password')"; 
mysql_query($query) or 
die (mysql_error()); 
?> 
<h3>You are now registered</h3> 
<a href="index.html">Go back to main page</a> 
<?php 
} 
else 
{ 
include("not.html"); 
} 
?>

[/php

it brings up this 


Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'punkgo@localhost' (Using password: NO) in c:\appserv\www\create_entry.php on line 3 
Could not connect to database

now, on my punkgo, i made the db users with punkgo, using phpmyadmin, and it does have a pw, so.....any suggestions?

Well... that is telling you that MySQL has no idea who that user is. Knows that the table needed to be accessed is owned by someone else and your not it. However check out your ever so friendly MySQL.com documentation.... http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/GRANT.html that will tell you if you have root access how to change the GRANT table.

Just add yourself and read.
