also, on line 11 you use a variable called $localhost, i think you mean
$hostname, which has the value "localhost" :) that won't help since it will
pass a null value and mysql_connect will bork at having too few parameters.
and you need to assign your mysql connection to a variable, so that you can
use it in other functions, for example
$connection = mysql_connect($db_location,$db_username,$db_password);
mysql_select_db($db_name, $connection);
otherwise mysql can get lost as to which database connection you are talking
about (if you ever use more than one)

// Hi Greg,
//
// In config.php, line 6 needs a semi-colon on the end. Try that
