I do, but when I slot it in, as in this:
"<html>
<head><title>Connect Server</title></head>
<body>
<?
$link = mysql_connect("localhost",$_POST['*****'],$_POST['********'])or
die("Connect Error: ".mysql_error());
print "Successfully connected.\n";
mysql_close($link);
?>
<form method="POST" action="kiekteki.php">
Enter Username: <input type="text" name="username" size="20">
Enter Password:<input type="password" name="password" size="20">
<input type="submit" value="Submit"><input type="reset">
</form>
</body>
</html>"
I get the following errors in the browser:
"Notice: Undefined index: ****** in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web
Server\htdocs\kiekteki.php on line 5
Notice: Undefined index: ******** in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web
Server\htdocs\kiekteki.php on line 5
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for
user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in C:\Program Files\Abyss
Web Server\htdocs\kiekteki.php on line 5
Connect Error: Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using
password: NO)"
(Once again, the stars in the text were put there by me for security
reasons as they revealed my password etc.)
Thanks,
Newsscanner.
