Getting Access denied with this code

$link=mysql_connect("localhost","root","root")or die(mysql_error( ));

mysql_select_db("bwi",$link) or die(mysql_error( ));

$result=msql_query("SELECT Code,Item,Description,Href,Src FROM silver")or die(mysql_error( ));

What password and ussername do I have to use with mysql_connect???????????????????????????????????

I haven't changed them and Uniserver is running on thumb drive.

$result=msql_query("SELECT Code,Item,Description,Href,Src FROM silver")or die(mysql_error( ));

Is that call supposed to be mysql_query() instead? This might be your problem.

 

You can use root/root if that's what you still have configured, but that also means you're wide open to attack, because it's NOT secure. You should set up a restricted user (through phpMyAdmin), and assign that user to the specific database. The user should have select, insert, update, and delete at a minimum.

You could be right, I'll check it out, should be mysql_query() first, then $result but acctualy the whole script runs like this and draws the error in the div designated for the http response

<?php

$link=mysql_connect("localhost","root","root")or die(mysql_error( ));

mysql_select_db("bwi",$link) or die(mysql_error( ));

$query=mysql_query("SELECT Code,Item,Description,Href,Src FROM silver")or die(mysql_error( ));

echo "<table border='1'>
<tr>
<th>Code</th>
<th>Item</th>
<th>Description</th>
<th>Href</th>
<th>Src</th>
</tr>";

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query))// could be msql_fetch_row($query) ???
{
echo "<tr>\n";
echo "<td>" . $row['Code'] . "</td>\n";// don't know if new line is required?
echo "<td>" . $row['Item'] . "</td>\n";
echo "<td>" . $row['Description'] . "</td>\n";
echo "<td>" . $row['Href'] . "</td>\n";
echo "<td>" . $row['Src'] . "</td>\n"; // don't know if it should be $row[5] ref?
echo "</tr>";
}

echo "</table>";

mysql_close($link);
?>

 

Sorry BobS I think your right that this is not the place for tutorials but I need to know UniServer is working properly before I proceed.

Hay Coral, BobS was right and it worked, the div innerHTML gets the output from query the only thing is that the getSilver.php returns the #comment at the top of the php page along with the table. Is there a way to write the SELECT that dosen't return the #Comment in the php page?
