Hello people, here is my another problem

At the beginning of the script I have some values assigned to some variables and the script works perfectly.

$host='localhost';
$username='username';
$password='password';
$db_name='dbname';
$tbl_name="table";

so I created new file with the name incl.php which contains only this part of my script and in the main file I worte require ("incl.php");
and now I get the following error:

$host='localhost'; $username='username'; $password='password'; $db_name='dbname'; $tbl_name="table"; Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in C:\Program Files\VertrigoServ\www\icsp2\process.php on line 6
cannot connect to database

Don't forget that you need the <?php in your include file before any php code so gets interpreted properly. Otherwise anything in the include file will be handled as html plain text.

i think the problem is that the database you are trying to connect to does not require a password.
the password field is set to off in the database settings. this is the default option for mysql databases. so go into it and look at your database and first give it a password.
