Trouble Configuring Password for MySQL

[goldenwaters]

Hello friends,
im not that perfect in php yet. However, i encountered a problem: when i connected to database using this-
mysql_connect($localhost, $root, $password); i saw an error message that "access denied" and my [default] password is "yes". Please friends, how do i configure it so it runs without hitches.

Are you sure that you've set a password?

If this is a default installation, your details will be "localhost", "root", ""

i.e. there is no password by default.

mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");

Thanks bro, you are correct. I have found a way out. My password should have been this: $password = ""; and i wrote this: $password = " "; it has been resolved.

Thanks,
