I got an online tutorial on how to creat a php login thing. And for some reason i cant get it to work, i'll give you all a pic of my database name, and see if you can help me connect to it.

This is the code im using to connect, but i think my database name is wrong( Please tell me how to fix the name also):
<?
// Replace the variable values below
// with your specific database information.
$host = "";
$user = "";
$pass = "";
$db = "";
// This part sets up the connection to the
// database (so you don't need to reopen the connection
// again on the same page).
$ms = mysql_pconnect($host, $user, $pass);
if ( !$ms )
{
echo "Error connecting to database.\n";
}
// Then you need to make sure the database you want
// is selected.
mysql_select_db($db);
?>
also, this is the register page im using, any ideas on how to improve this:
<?php
// dbConfig.php is a file that contains your
// database connection information. This
// tutorial assumes a connection is made from
// this existing file.
include ("dbConfig.php");
//Input vaildation and the dbase code
if ( $_GET["op"] == "reg" )
{
$bInputFlag = false;
foreach ( $_POST as $field )
{
if ($field == "")
{
$bInputFlag = false;
}
else
{
$bInputFlag = true;
}
}
// If we had problems with the input, exit with error
if ($bInputFlag == false)
{
die( "Problem with your registration info. "
."Please go back and try again.");
}
// Fields are clear, add user to database
// Setup query
$q = "INSERT INTO `dbUsers` (`username`,`password`,`email`) "
."VALUES ('".$_POST["username"]."', "
."PASSWORD('".$_POST["password"]."'), "
."'".$_POST["email"]."')";
// Run query
$r = mysql_query($q);
// Make sure query inserted user successfully
if ( !mysql_insert_id() )
{
die("Error: User not added to database.");
}
else
{
// Redirect to thank you page.
Header("Location: register.php?op=thanks");
}
} // end if
//The thank you page
elseif ( $_GET["op"] == "thanks" )
{
echo "<h2>Thanks for registering!</h2>";
}
//The web form for input ability
else
{
echo "<form action=\"?op=reg\" method=\"POST\">\n";
echo "Username: <input name=\"username\" MAXLENGTH=\"16\"><br />\n";
echo "Password: <input type=\"password\" name=\"password\" MAXLENGTH=\"16\"><br />\n";
echo "Email Address: <input name=\"email\" MAXLENGTH=\"25\"><br />\n";
echo "<input type=\"submit\">\n";
echo "</form>\n";
}
// EOF
?>
EDIT: I can now connect to my Database but it still says "User not entered into database" I think I'm telling it to enter the user in the wrong table or whatever.
Thanks so much,
koss
