php/mysql

I've recently formatted my hardrive, and now i've reinstalled php and mysql. however, when i try to connect to mysql in php i get the error

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'dave@localhost' (Using password: YES) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test\index.php on line 6
Could not connect

The script is

Code:

<?PHP 
$hostname = "localhost";
$db_login = "name";
$db_pass = "password";
$database = "mysql";
$dbase_link = mysql_connect($hostname, $db_login, $db_pass) or die("Could not connect");
		mysql_select_db($database) or die("Could not select database");

		$query = "SELECT * FROM  db";
		$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Query failed");

		$line = mysql_fetch_array($result);
		echo "$line[host]";
		
	mysql_close($dbase_link);
		 ?>

Yet, if i take off the die() function, it'll actually connect and return query's etc, but still display the error's.

I've got PHP 4.3.6 and mysql 4.0.18.

Any ideas?

(I KNOW for a fact it's not the username or password, cause i have looked @ the mysql.ini file...)

 

For future reference, even though it was agans't my religion and belief, i decided to put the username and password in blank...REGARDLESS of the fact that i have indeed written in a username and password...and it worked.

sigh....but still, it works

 

Yeah, mysql has its own user-database, not the ini file. you might wanna change that password soonish!
