but when i used mysql_error() i got : "sorry database not found" as my dbconnect.php file includes <? mysql_connect("192.168.0.111" , "root" , "password") or die("SORRY CANNOT CONNECT") ; mysql_select_db("kt") or die("sorry database not found"); ?> and the user table of mysql database : # # Dumping data for table `user` # INSERT INTO user VALUES ('localhost', 'root', '', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y'); INSERT INTO user VALUES ('%', 'root', '', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'Y', 'N', 'N', 'N'); INSERT INTO user VALUES ('localhost', '', '', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y'); INSERT INTO user VALUES ('%', '', '', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N'); so it has the '%' value so it can be accessed by any host.!!!1 any comment ???
