[slyrzmb]

I am having a problem selecting my database after connecting to it using PHP. I am building a simple login but it wont select my db....some help please...i can't find anywhere in phpAdmin where i can set privileges to connect....

Any error messages?
Are you using mysql_XXXX or mysqli_XXXX ?
Are you testing the result of xxxx_connect() to see if it is valid vs being false?

If you already created the database, go to cPanel->MySQL Databases to Add New User and then Add User To Database. Finally don’t forget to give this user the appropriate privileges.

If you want to start from scratch, use cPanel->MySQL Database Wizard through all the steps.

Ensure that you give a MySQL user the appropriate privelages for what you want to do-or it will not work and give you error messages.
