Question : Connect to mysql with php

Hello and help!

I am trying to set up a connection from php to my sql. I am using xp pro and have mysql and php set up properly I can make a database with mysql monitor and my php scripts work fine. I am using xp's IIS server.

However It says in my bok that I need the following information to connect php and mysql
mysql_connect (address, username, password)  below is the book example.

// Connect to the database server
$dbcnx = @mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'mypasswd');

How do I find out my address username and password
I do not have a password set up on mysql command prompt I just press enter and go straight to mysql>

Please help

Answer : Connect to mysql with php

the mysql-extension is not installed for php, that what
> Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\jokelist.php on line 11
indicates. You woudn't see that error if there is a @ infront of mysql_connect. To fix the error see:
