How to fix this error?

I'am learning PHP easily but heres a problem:
'Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in D:\xampplite\htdocs\test\test.php on line 2
Could not connect: Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'

How can i fix it?

 

Check that you are using the correct username. i dont think user ODBC exist, and normaly you should have a password.

if you look in the file "function.mysql-connect" you can probably find some lines like
$mysql_user = "";
$mysql_pass = "";
$mysql_host = "localhost";

if you change the parameters it will probably work

 

EDIT: A few seconds too late...

The username and/or password you're using to access the database is/are incorrect.

 

I tried searching for this file but can't find it, where is this file exactly? ( i'am using xampplite for now )

 

If you're using XAMPP, then the username is probably "root", and the password is blank.

 

Ok that login worked but now when i try to create a database it throws up this error:
Could not connect: Host 'MYHOST' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server

 

Learn more about connecting to mysql server : function.mysql_connect
now you can control this error :

Good Luck

 

Maybe i've got the codes right but it has something to do with security access, for being a PHP beginner i have no clue how to edit it.. thou i've tried your codes and its still shooting up the same error
