<title>Variables - Some Practice</title>

<?php print("It Worked!"
; ?>

that makes VERY LITTLE sense. your file is called variable.php but this code doesnt have a variable
i think your looking at the wrong file

Ok,
Not sure if you have change the username and password values to 'username' and 'password' so we dont see your username and password or wether that is what you put into those parameters.
1. As you are trying to create a database the userid should be an ADMIN user, as only admins can create databases.
2. If this is a vanilla install of wamp the userid should be 'root' (lowercase) and the password should be blank i.e. '', a string containing nothing.
3. If you have created another ADMIN user usre the username and password that match that new user.
Note: Once you get this working you should think of creating a new ADMIN user and deleting the 'root' user as this is universally know as the default ADMIN user for a newly installed MYSQL server.
