Now, whenever my script runs a MySQL command, I get this error.... Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: 'root@MY_PC' (Using password: YES) in C:\...\dbconnect.inc on line 3 Cannot connect to The Database.You need to grant privileges to log in as root remotely, which is probably not recommended. Basically a GRANT statement that lets people access MySQL as root from your IP address. Better to create a new user (such as "phpuser" or something) and enable that one instead.
