Are you sure you've

• Correctly inserted the right variables to your connect statement
• Are using the right user name - some put the account before (ex account_user)
• Given privileges to the user in question

If you're not using a password, I highly recommend one.

ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the
manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near '' at line

i had to enter the cmd env to test my query cos my php pages were just working like links. i know my php is ok cos i call pages with functions. i can select from my db tables but cant update or insert.

Your user should be changed accordingly. If you are still using 'localhost' change it to the real host, unless you are using something and need to change your host to localhost. Also, make sure your user is correct. On default settings, the user is mainly "root" but it could be changed, so make sure you got the right user as well.

Error connecting to databasePHP Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\hr\idea_dcsn.php on line 127

that error looks like the user is there but the table doesnt havet permission for that user.

and this one looks like a sintax error in your query

no, you just need to assign the right privileges to that user. has nothing todo with the password, although onces you have assigned right permission to the user, you can also reset the password, and that seems to fix this kind of conflicts

also, at the time you get this error, it seems that the user is already connected to the database. so it starts being a minor sintax error and not a database wide problem.

So, there is no password for the user?

regardless of weather there is a password or not or even if is correct or not, that specific user must have permissions to access that table. usually if it is root, will have that special permission by default. otherwise it needs to be set manually.

If there is no password, than that user can't even log in can it? A permissionless user should be able to log in to MySQL database but wouldn't be able to do anything.

The way I see it is if you are a user registered to a forum, but you will never NEVER NEVER see a warning saying you can't access anything as a user if you have forgotten the password.

That's the way I see it though...
