New PHP issue

[Shanky]

First off im not even sure this is the right section to put this in but it seams to be the best place.

Well im trying to make a php database for my site, and i keep getting errors when I use any of the basic php database tutorials back at TZD.com.

Errors:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'Dedcollege'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/josh3/public_html/members/create.php on line 6

Warning: mysql_select_db(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/josh3/public_html/members/create.php on line 10

Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Access denied for user 'jedio3'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/josh3/public_html/members/create.php on line 23

Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: A link to the server could not be established in /home/josh3/public_html/members/create.php on line 23

Warning: mysql_close(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/josh3/public_html/members/create.php on line 27


I dont understand why it wont work.
PHP version is 4.4.4
and mySQL is 4.1.21-standard

php 4.4.4 is not too far out of data and mySQL is a bit old but should still work.

Should I update this with php-5.2.0?..well if i can cos its a rental server.
.........
Actually now that im acutally reading the errors, im guessing its because i dont have access to the server..

$mysqlLink = mysql_connect( 'localhost' , 'username' , 'password' ); does username and password ones to the server, or do u make up ur own?

Please reply soon

K nevermind about that, i was right. Because i didnt have the server's username and password in the line i mentioned above the server denied creating anything inside that bit of code.


They probably should mention that on the tutorials from now on <_<
