PHP Scripting question?

[mark6188]

the username and database name almost always have a prefix that I'm not seeing in your code.

Usually it's the sign in ID to create a mysql database. So if I sign into my host with 'malexander'

then my username would be 'malexander_admblogdetailzus'.

The database name would be 'malexander_dbuser'.

Hence you would write $user="malexander_admblogdetailzus";
$db="malexander_dbuser";
