Wamp Server

Ok thx just to check so instead of the old code it would be something like this ?

Code: Select all

<?php

$db = mysql_connect("localhost","Username","Password") or die("Could not connect to db");
if (!$db)
die ("no db");
if(!mysql_select_db("test=,$db"))
die ("No database Selected");

?>

im not sure if thats right of not but like i said in the begining im still learning at this so sry for all the hassel

Looks good, except I think I see a typo:

Code: Select all

if(!mysql_select_db("test=,$db"))

It looks like you accidentally added a "=", and you also need to reformat the parameters a bit as well. Instead, it should look like:

Code: Select all

if(!mysql_select_db('test', $db))

The extra space between the parameters isn't mandatory, but it makes it easier to read And it is no hassle at all. Answering questions is what most of these forums are about!

sorry for the late delay, Jp I actually asked him to post this here, I didn't have the time to help.

So can you find the page now? To test it just simple place nothing but the word TEST on test.html, save it in the wamp\www folder and try to open it

localhost\test.html

if that works then do the same for a test.php, if that works then you are good to go. If not then make sure wamp is in white in the icon in the bottom corner

i have managed to get the codes working on my own website the only problem is its still not connecting to the database somehow still comes back with no database selected, im sure all the paths are correct the username and password are in i have tried every way around it i can think of just dont know where im going wrong on this :S

[jpoisson]

is it saying could not connect or that there is no database at all?

Try creating a new user and immediately put the credentials into your connect script. Maybe there was a difference in the password.

Also, check with your web host and double check what your MySQL host should be. While it is oftentimes "localhost", your host may have separate servers set up for both web serving and MySQL.
