Question

I\'ve seen a few errors like this, but I found no answer.

Unable to connect to database: Access denied for user \'\'@\'localhost\' to database \'socialdb\'
         


        

Answer 1

The error is pretty self-explanatory, you're not allowed to connect without specifying some credentials.

Change your call to mysql_connect() to something like this:

mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "password");
