[GRut98034]

i get this when i add a user to a database
Connection StringsPerl $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:sherrut5_shop:remotemysqlhost" ,"_","<PASSWORD HERE>");
PHP $dbh=mysql_connect ("remotemysqlhost", "_", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("_");

i left the user name out on purpose

I don't understand, the error is that it spits out a line of code?

It seems to me that you haven't put the password where it says passwordhere and possibly every other parameters .

Is there a manual for that piece of code? I am guessing you have to set your host and password in that line exist. Not sure what the underscore is though.

You need to give us more info if u want us to be able to help you. Did you add a host address (localhost or if it is a remote hostname, you have to specify the IP or the URL) a password and a username to your MySQL connection string???
