WampServer

Okay, PHPmy Admin works, Database works, when i type [localhost] it works. But, If I make a .php file, where do I store it so I can test in browser!? I am kinda new to this.

your apache document root is c:\wamp\www. put all your website html, php, images, ccs, etc in that folder. if you do not place all your php scripts there, when you try to access them using http://localhost they will not get parced by apache.

Perfect, thats exactly what I was looking for. Now of course another problem. And I think its easy. I get this error message and it appears its looking for the username and password for mysql.

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'webmaster'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in C:\wamp\www\create.php on line 6
Could not connect to mysql because Access denied for user 'webmaster'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

where is says "webmaster" it used it instead of "myusername." I saw "webmaster" listed on the phpinfo file but still doesnt work. the reason I got Wamp is so I can start designing right away, rather than installing each service and figuring each thing out. Any help again? Thank so much in advance.

wamp comes with the root mysql user set with no password, so to connect to mysql use

mysql_connect ('localhost', 'root, null);

so how would i change this to act properly?

<?php
$server = "localhost"; // server to connect to.
$database = "mysql"; // the name of the database.
$db_user = "webmaster"; // mysql username to access the database with.
$db_pass = "mypassword"; // mysql password to access the database with.
$table = "usertryout"; // the table that this script will set up and use.
?>

this is a script called config.php which the first of many scripts i am using to create eventually a login system for members.

here is a snippet of the other script that uses config.php

<?php

include ("config.php";

// connect to the mysql server
$link = mysql_connect($server, $db_user, $db_pass)
or die ("Could not connect to mysql because ".mysql_error());

$db_user = "root"; // mysql username to access the database with.
$db_pass = ""; // mysql password to access the database with.
