trouble with mysql usernames and passwords

[DrQuincy]

Hi,

I'm doing a site that is php4 to mysql 3. I can make a connection to mysql but only using mysql_connect("locahost&quot, i.e. with NO username or password which obviously is a stupid thing to do. The way I manage my MYSQL databse is though phpmyadmin that was an application I received when I got my domain. I can't find anything in their documentation that tells you how to do add them. I am new to MYSQL and PHP so am finding it difficult. Has anyone had experience with this before?

To do it normally through the command line do you add a user to the user table in mysql database and then us the GRANT command to give that user access?

Thanks.

The GRANT command itself will add the user it necessary. Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:
