What parameters are you supplying in your mysql_connect() function?

Hi all...
My problem solved.. one of my friend suggested me. i found some other person in this group also having some problem..
what i did is...
1. open http://localhost
2. Goto PHPMYadmin (on the leftside of the home page)
3. There is an option to change /to create password for MySQL.
4. I created a new username and password.
5. Refresh ur MySQL
6. when u try to connect Mysql_connect("localhost","username","password")
7. It runs perfectly.

bye...
