I have a php3 html file, and inside it has the mysql+AF8-connect blah stuff, ie which mysql server to use and what username, but what is syntax for putting in a password.. I can't seem to manage to get my php3 script to logon using a username pass to the database.. Any help would be appreciated.. I have searched the docs/manuals and still no luck. Reply to me directly, since I have not rejoined the list. Michael
