My PHP program tells me it can't access the database and gives an error message ?
MySQL - When you create a new database you have to specify a database name. Then you create a user by entering a username and password.
For best results keep your database name, database username, and database password at no fewer than 6 and no more than 7 letters or numbers.
You must add this new user to your new database.In your script, your database name and your database username must be prefaced by your hosting account username_. Your password, however, stands alone.
For example: If your hosting account username is "mrcertified", your database name is "testdb", your database username is "dbuser", and your database password is "passwd1977", here is how you need to put them in your script:
database server should be : localhost
database name should be written as mrcertified_testdb
database username should be written as mrcertified_dbuser
database password should be written simply as passwd1977
