Hi Folks, I want to do something like the following: $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "myuser") or die("Connect failed : " . mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("mydb",$db) or die("SELECT_DB failed : " . mysql_error ()); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mytable", $db) or die("Query failed : " . mysql_error()); The script does not proceed beyond the "mysql_select_db" line. I get this error: SELECT_DB failed: Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'mydb' What happened to the user information. I have granted all neccessary rights to "myuser". But it seems that itÂs even not caring about the user. I have MySQL 4.1.4 and PHP 4.3.8-2.1 on a Fedore Core 2 System running.
