Ok, not to be harsh, but I thought I would point it out before others jumped on this one. The answer to your question is in the question itself. Access denied for user 'jdoe'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in C:\wamp\www\rogers\userlogin.php on line 9 So, since line 9 is your mysqli_connect() call, I would suggest looking at the manual page for that. http://php.net/mysqli_connect Plus look at mysql documentation on how to create a new user, grant them privileges, and flush the privileges table. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/adding-users.html A simple Google search would have brought you to these pages. As for the reset of the errors. Fix the first one and the others might be fixed also. Jim
