There is an error in your script....

There is an error in your script....

i try to connect to a database with this script :

Dear Mr. Douma,

I took a look at your panel and at the boerner Website: It seems to me
that you mixed username and database name: In the cPanel, the following
code is recommended to connect to the Database:

/ $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "janzeros_jan", "<PASSWORD HERE>")=> what password? or
die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("janzeros_Boerner");


/but the error message reads:

mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'janzeros_Boerner@localhost'
(Using password: YEs

The users name is janzeros_jan, the DB-name is janzeros_Boerner. You try
to connect to the database as a user with the database name. To me, this
seems to be the root of all the problems. Use the recommended code above
and it should work.

<?php
//Dynamische Webseiten mit PHP - Echt einfach, Franzis Verlag

//Diese Datei enthält die Anweisungen zum Aufnehemn einer Verbindung zur Datenbank
//Verbindung zur Datenbank aufnehmen
$db = mysql_connect("localhost","janzeros_Boerner","janzeros_jan") or die ("Verbindung fehlgeschlagen");
mysql_select_db("janzeros_Boerner",$db);
?>

The problem is i cannot connect to a database on my server, because i use a cpanel

With this code:

Code: Select all

<?php
//Dynamische Webseiten mit PHP - Echt einfach, Franzis Verlag
//Jochen Franke 2001-2004

//Diese Datei enthält die Anweisungen zum Aufnehemn einer Verbindung zur Datenbank
//Verbindung zur Datenbank aufnehmen
$db = mysql_connect("localhost","janzeros_Boerner","janzeros_jan") or die ("Verbindung fehlgeschlagen");
mysql_select_db("janzeros_Boerner",$db);
?>

you have this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_LOGICAL_OR in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\boerner2\system\connect.inc.php on line 7

IMHO not possible. This code is correct and without syntax errors.

Maybe you have an error in the mainfile, because you include this code?

Maybe you have an error in the mainfile, because you include this code

Th eproblem is with the 3 parameters for this function

$db = mysql_connect("localhost","janzeros_Boerner","janzeros_jan")

i install the dynamic website local : 3 parameters
i install the dynamic website remote : 3 parameters

local i install a webserver on my computer for testing and remote i use a cpanel
