Krista,

If you're using the default installation of MySQL (i.e. you haven't run a
grant statement to create a user), then you're script should have run. You
might want to try augmenting your connection statement with an error output
such as:

$linkID = mysql_connect(" localhost",""," ") or die ('I cannot connect to the
database because: ' . mysql_error());

Yes, you need to put in a username and password, which you should get from your
host. Also, you might want to use the "or die" syntax Tom suggested.
if($linkID != "FALSE") ^^^^^^^^^^ This can be better written as if (!$linkID)

or you could combine your IF and mysql_connect() statements:
if (!mysql_connect ("localhost","u sername","pw"))
echo "Did not connect to DB";

And this line will produce an error if the connection didn't open correctly: mysql_close($li nkID);

You can get around that by using the mysql_connect() or die syntax or by
executing the mysql_close only if $linkID is valid. Or, if you're lazy, you
could just code it as @mysql_close($l inkID). The "@" keeps any errors from
being written.

Regards,
Shawn
