Jump to PostEither the password you are using is wrong, or there is no permission for user 'admin' on local machine to access the database.
Check your username/password for the DB and also check the user has got the correct permissions.

It may sound daft, but I spent a week, when starting out, trying to connect as 'admin' when I should have used 'root'.

Thank you for the help guys, solve at last. . .I use the root in the username and leave the password blank.
it looks like this:
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root"," ");
