"\n"); ?> output : I'm dead :: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-18 21:26:52] curt at zirzow dot dyndns dot org Description: ------------ mysql_connect: example 1: <?php $link = mysql_connect("localhost", "mysql_user", "mysql_password") or die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error()); print ("Connected successfully"); mysql_close($link); ?> mysql_error() will not give a reason why the connect failed, according to: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=24689 php4 will never give that message but php5 will. I havn't tested to see if this is true for php5. An alternative is to use $php_errormsg, but that can only used if php_ini.track_errors is set.
