Is this written right to connect to a database? Or does something need added?

error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
ini_set('display_errors', true);
$server = "";
$username = "";
$password = "";
$link =mysql_connect($server,$username,$password) or die ("Could not connect db ") ;
if (!@mysql_select_db("", $link)) { // leave the database name as anydb for now
echo "

There has been an error. This is the error message:

";
echo "

" . mysql_error() . "

";
echo "Please Contant Your Systems Administrator with the details";
}

?>

Seems ok.

[jwade_m]

ok. This is a bit of info from the .sql file in the db folder that the programmer sent.

CREATE TABLE `admin` (

`username` varchar(50) default NULL,
`password` varchar(50) default NULL,
`status` int(11) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`userid`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=5 ;


I noticed that it still has this information:
Host: localhost
Database: `funchill_heartlandmeds`

funchill_heartlandmeds is not the name of my database. Does this need changed?

It will have to be your DB name

[crazyleaf]

Toon is right.
