$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root");











mysql_select_db("mydb",$db);





You probably DONT want to use root to connect but change that to your username for the database you setup. You probably will also need the password for that user.





That connects you.

Reply:The best way is to include a variation of the DB object from PEAR:


require_once "DB.php";


$db = DB::connect("mysql://user:password@host/...

Reply:The syntax of connection from php to MySql database is:


mysql_connect("host name","login","password");


here,


(1) mysql_connect is the name of function


(2)hostname will be localhost if your database and webserver is same else check your host settings for external database server.


(3)login and password is root and blank in default in easyphp, else provide your custom created





eg:


$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root",""); //connect to database and store the connection point to $db


mysql_select_db("mydb",$db); //select the database name mydb from connection $db
