Problems with connection

[Stinos]

Hey,

I have a problem with making a connection to a database.

This is the code:

<?php
$host='localhost';
$user='xxxxxx';
$pass='xxxxxx';
$conn=mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass);
$selected = mysql_select_db("stinos_hardcorepunk",$conn) or die("Could not select first_test");
$sql = "SELECT * FROM videos ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 5";
$res = mysql_query($sql) or die (mysql_error());
?>

It gives me the error:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'stinos_stinos@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/hardcore/public_html/index.php on line 49

Warning: mysql_select_db(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/hardcore/public_html/index.php on line 50
Could not select first_test

The database exists and it is the correct name :queasy:

Please help me, thanks.

Is the user linked to the database? I am going to guess it's one of the following:

1.) The user isn't linked to the database
[indent]This is done in cPanel --> mySQL[/indent]
2.) The username is wrong
[indent]Check that the username you're using is exactly as needed
[indent]Some hosts prepend your cPanel username and underscore before your database usernames. Make sure this is(n't) the case. ex: cPanelUser_dbAdmin[/indent][/indent]
3.) Password is wrong
[indent]Double check that the password is plain-text in your script, and that it's proper.[/indent]
