WHAT am I doing wrong that I can't make this test work? I know it's the host, user and password... but I don't know what I need to put in there. Well, I know what to input for the password.
But -- $host??? localhost??? $user???? root???? I've tried everything I can think of and I don't know why it won't work. Like I said on a previous post. I have PHP & SQL for dummies and apparently am too dumb to even figure it out. WHAT am i missing?!?!?!?!
Please help!!
