Why can't I connect to my database? The code I have is:

mysql_connect(localhost,USERNAME,PASSWORD);
		mysql_select_db("sitev2") or die("Unable to select database");

			
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM info order by title DESC");
		while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

Where USERNAME and PASSWORD = The DB username and password...

I get the following error:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'sitev2@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/xingeh/public_html/new/info2.php on line 11
Unable to select database

lol... ok problem over! i realised i had the username wrong, i forgot to put the username prefix infront... pretty dumb eh?

It's not dumb, sometimes it's the little things that get ya. It happens to all of us. I'm glad you figured it out though.

Heh, for emphasis: 95% of the time it's a small, insignificant (or seemingly so) detail that catches you off-guard and causes the most complexing of errors.

I learned that early on, and it still plagues me today. :|

Hey I make the same mistakes all the time, too! No one is perfect

I had a script come crashing down around my ears the other day 'cos I typed in a single additional comma.....

feraira, I'll echo what the others have said -- don't be too hard on yourself. It's just part of writing code. Anyone who says they've never done it or been aggrevated by it isn't being truthful. No sweat.

It's time to recall the dumbest mistakes by WTers

lol thanks for the confidence i got another problem now tho lol, look in my other topic ... "Small Problem" if you would be so kind
