Hi -
I've been doing my initial testing with 'root', but now that I'm getting ready to put a front end on things, I can't seem to access my db when I change usernames. Strangely, when I offer the password it refuses to connect, but when I use just the new username alone, it connects but can't find the db I want.
Here's what I'm using:
// connect to the database
$db = @mysql_connect("localhost", "root");
// select the 'xyz' database
if (!@mysql_select_db("xyz")) {
echo( " <p>Unable to locate the content database at this time." );
exit();
}
I'm sure I'm overlooking something stupid, but I'm fairly new to this. Can anyone shed any light on this behavior?
Thanks,
shaBANG
