I just started working with mysql and I'm very novice Created a simple database and programmed php to connect as follows...
<?php include ("webvars.inc"); // webvars file is this //<?php$user = "???";$hostname =" ???";$password = "pass"; //$db="cs"?> $link= mysql_connect($hostname,$user,$password)or die ("_something is whong"); mysql_select_db($db,$link); $query ="SELECT * FROM projects"; $result = mysql_query($query); $array = mysql_fetch_array($result); $usercount = mysql_num_rows($result); mysql_close($link); ?> Question 1 I put the files created from mysql(MYI ,MYD,frm) in the correct directory at my site Is this correct or do they need some kind of compilling? Question 2 How do I Grant my host name and user name I'm comfused..It gives me an error message Can't connect because of host and user mistake.. Thanks Aaron
