Hi,
I think that your problem is because you do not enter your root MySQL password in your
connection to it.
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root");
Try with this:
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "your_root_mysql_password") or die("Could not
connect: " . mysql_error());
Best Regards,
Boris Penchev
