PHP Adding Passwords to connection line

Chijtska · 03-18-2002, 05:39 PM

I am trying out this simple piece of code in a php file:

$db = mysql_connect("localhost","root" );

lets say i have a password called "unworthy77" to connect with my MySQL server (thats not what it is, so dont worry about it...) how would i add that into the line above and what would be the proper syntax for it?

I'd suggest creating another user so you don't have to use root.

Code:

mysql_connect( "localhost", "user", "password" )
          or die ("Unable to connect");
