[PHP] connecting to a database

[PL99]

I think I have to edit some config file someware because I'm getting a strange error. ( Or at least I think it's a little odd.)

I know the the database "report" exists, I made it with phpmyadmin.
I have the following code :

Code: Select all

mysql_connect($db_host,$user, $passwd) or die ("Failed to connect to the MySQL server!"); 
mysql_select_db ("report") or die ("Failed to connect to the database!");

and I get the following error:
Failed to connect to the database!

Somebody an idea what's the problem?

Try

Code: Select all

mysql_connect("$db_host",$user, "$passwd") or die ("Failed to connect to the MySQL server!");

and:

Code: Select all

mysql_select_db ("report") or die (mysql_error()); // to get get information about the error

Thanks,

mysql_select_db(); gave an error.
The user could not log in.
$db_user, $user and $passwd where not known, The include file where they were defined wasn't ok.

Everything is ok now, Thanks.
