Problems reading mysql with php.
I installed Wampserver2.0 on my winxp laptop. I wanted to practice my php with mysql without having to upload and and edit my code every time to my webspace. I installed it and php seems to work fine but I created a database and made a table with some info in it so i can display it on a page. When I run the page it doesn't display anything from the mysql database. it's like if has trouble connecting. I put the script to connect to localhost and user I set to root and password left blank. Is that how it is suppost to work if I left the user and pass default? Here is a copy of the script i used.
<?
// Use session variable on this page. This function must put on the top of page.
session_start();
////// Logout Section. Delete all session variable.
session_destroy();
$message="";
////// Login Section.
$Login=$_POST['Login'];
if($Login){ // If clicked on Login button.
$username=$_POST['username'];
$md5_password=md5($_POST['password']); // Encrypt password with md5() function.
// Connect database.
$host="localhost"; // Host name.
$db_user="root"; // MySQL username.
$db_password=""; // MySQL password.
$database="tutorial"; // Database name.
mysql_connect($host,$db_user,$db_password);
mysql_select_db($database);
// Check matching of username and password.
$result=mysql_query("select * from admin where username='$username' and
password='$md5_password'"
;
if(mysql_num_rows($result)!='0'){ // If match.
session_register("username"
; // Craete session username.
header("location:main.php"
; // Re-direct to main.php
exit;
}else{ // If not match.
$message="--- Incorrect Username or Password ---";
}
} // End Login authorize check.
?>

<td>User : </td>
<td><input name="username" type="text" id="username" /></td>

<tr>
<td>Password : </td>
<td><input name="password" type="password" id="password" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
<input name="Login" type="submit" id="Login" value="Login" />
</form>
