advice

Hi,

Apologies if this sounds dumb but I'm very new to this.

I'm just trying to create a simple login page (
http://aarkenuk.co.uk/barnesg/login.php) In my MySQL databases I have the
correct database selected, but it's the users I'm struggling with. You get
like a front end with my hosting space (CpanelX) and in there I've created
user "admin" password "admin" but I cannot seem to login.

This is what I see in the front end..

Users in test
barnes_admin (Privileges: ALL PRIVILEGES)

Connection Strings
Perl $dbh =
DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:barnes_test:localhost","barnes_admin","<PASSWORD
HERE>");
PHP $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "barnes_admin", "<PASSWORD
HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' .
mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("barnes_test");

Is there anything more I need to do? Do you login with barnes_admin or just
admin? (I've tried both) and why does it created barnes_admin and not just
admin? Also what are the connection strings for? do I need to do anything
with these?

Thanks very much in advance for any advice..

This is a Microsoft SQL Server group, not MySQL group so you're probably not
going to find as much help here as you'd ilke.

However, I would say taht you probably don't want an admin being able to
access your database from a webpage simply for security reasons.

I don't know whether the best place for this question is a newsgroup
about PHP or MySQL, but thius group is about Microsoft SQL Server, and your
chances to get help are not fantastic.

differance...!

the admin thing was just a test login, but couldn't get it to work. I've
spotted a mysql newsgroup which I will post in...

Many thanks for the help.

the advantages and disadvantages of both.
