Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'php'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in C:\wamp\www\rar2.php on line 3

anyone have n e ideas as to why its bein a bastard n not doin wht i want it to?

will love you for eva if u find me a cure for this thing

btw this is the script on the page lol

<?php
require($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "config/db_config.php");
$connection = mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_password) or die("connection error");
echo "connection made";
?>

and yes everythin is set up right in the db_config file

Echo the $db_host, $db_user etc variables between the require & $connection lines and see what they say. Also echo the $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "config/db_config.php" string and make sure that file exists.

Important note, you should NOT have the db_config.php under the document root as that is world readable by the web server/clients. It should be outside the document root for security reasons.

when i try echo the variables it gives me a parse error.

it connects ok when i use the root user.... but not when i use a custom made user. with or without a password.
