pb with mysql_connect

[fomalhaut]

hello !

I've some problem using the mysql_connect function :nuts:.
This is the beginning of my script, that works fine on my own computer :

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost:3306");
$db = "usr_ayantdroit";
if (!$con) {die('Connection impossible : ' . mysql_error());}
mysql_select_db($db, $con);

but it doesn't work on x10, bellow the error message :

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'usr'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/usr/public_html/ident.php on line 4
Connection impossible : Access denied for user 'usr'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

line 4 is : $con = mysql_connect("localhost:3306"); (the second line above).

I presume either localhost:3306 is to be replaced... by what ? ; or I must declare something in phpmyadmin or in mysql ? But I don't know what exactly.

Does anyone can help me please ?

Thanks.

See http://be2.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php :
On your own machine you have a default user and no password, which works fine there. On x10hosting this is impossible and therefore you need to fill in the username and password to be able to connect to the mysql server.

mysql_connect("localhost", username, passwd );

It is just "localhost", no port number.

And you should consider using the mysqli_XXXX family of functions rather than the mysql_XXXX family. The 'i' is for 'improved'.

To create a mysql user and database in cPanel, click on the mysql database wizard in the database section.

Thank you for your help.

I've created a user with password for my database, and I've suppressed the port number.

... and it works fine.

Thanks again. ;)

Definitely right on the improved vs regular mysql. However, the port is implicitly added whether you specify it explicitly or not, but you are better off not specifying it and letting PHP get it from the php config settings.
