when i am trying to connect to my database how do i know what my username, password, and localhost are?
Where are you trying to connect, local or on your hositng? In the first case you should know the name and pw, otherwise the hosting provider whould tell you. You may also create databases in the cpanel of your host.
ok now i got it but now it says i am using passwrod YES when i am not using that password, i am using the passwrod for my username, why is it telling me i am using the password YES?
It's telling you are using a password. The password isn't specifically 'YES', but yes you are using a password.
Do you have the username, password and host (server address) now? Your PHP connection should look something like this: <? mysql_connect("your-server.com", "username", "password") or die("Could not connect to the database, please email the administrator. Err Reference: Adm_Adm_1"); ?> You can't leave the password out unless you specifically set the database up that way, which I very much doubt if this is a shared hosting server. If you need more help, why not post the code snippet you are trying to use so someone can help you with that.
