Have you checked the privileges for user 'shredder_adam'? You can access those through Databases -> {database} -> Privileges -> 'shredder_adam'. If that user doesn't exist, then add it; else change the privileges. (BTW - I am a noob on PHP MyAdmin but an experienced user in MySQL so I had to learn how to use the MyAdmin interface but I could tell you how to make the changes through the command line so I had to do some guessing here myself.)

Hello all,
I'm I am very new to using MySQL databases and came across an error that I need help with.
I'm trying to make a simple Connection file in php to connect to one of my databases and it keeps giving me this error:"Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'shredder_adam'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in C:\wamp\www\insert_ac.php on line 10"

any ideas on how to fix this???

thanks SO much for the help and bearing with my super noobiness...

I like the minimalist PHP in this tutorial and I have to somewhat disagree with the posters who commented more on the HTML syntax than the php. It is a tutorial on PHP and not HTML. Someone who is learning PHP probably shouldn't be too nit picking there and focus on the subject at hand.
On the other hand - this might be just a bit TOO minimalist and part two needs a whole lot more substance. I am a perl programmer with a minimal familiarity with PHP and it took me only a few minutes to not only read the whole thing but to understand the basic concepts of embedded scripting. I wil check back and look at part two when it comes out.
