Set Privileges in MySQL

Set MySQL user id and password in WampServer

If you want to create a new WampServer database in MySQL then you should have the user id and password. If you do not have the uid and password and try to create a database then an error will occur.

For example

<?php

$con=mysql_connect("localhost","","");

if (!$con)

  {

  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());

  }

 

if (mysql_query("CREATEDATABASEC_sharp_emp",$con))

  {

  echo "Databasecreated";

  }

else

  {

  echo "Errorcreatingdatabase:" . mysql_error();

  }

 

mysql_close($con);
?>


The following error will be generated.
