Hi all,
I have been trying to connect to a database using a username and password which I have created through cPanel, and added to them to the database. I have used the following to connect:
<?php
//connect script
$erorr = "Problem connecting to database. Please try again later.";
$connect = mysql_connect("mydomain.com", "username", "password") or die ($erorr);
mysql_select_db("mydatabase") or die ($erorr);
?>
The output is as follows:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'username'@'host.mydomain.com' (using password: YES) in /home/public_html/connect.php on line 7
btw, I made sure many times to put the right authentication info, so there is nothing wrong with the username and the password.
Please guide how to fix this error and I will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
