Now it works!!! My problem was that I didn't know that if I set up passwords for users I had to tell it to the web pages where I connect to the database (postgres doesn't work like that). I know this is stupid, but I began my message with "I am new to mysql" :-) Anyway thank you for your replies. Simona
