OK. Thanks. Now, I replaced what you said was object-oriented. I just copied the Example #1 mysqli_connect() from http://uk1.php.net/manual/en/function.mysqli-connect.php and I think it has given me its reason why I cannot connect: Debugging errno: 1045 Debugging error: Access denied for user 'iph'@'localhost' (using password: YES) Now I have 2 questions: Where do I look up error numbers like 1045? and how in MariaDB do I check which user name and password I managed to set up for myself and therefore what values I should be using in this function call?! I am afraid that I find the website documentation labyrithine and perplexing.
Error codes are listed at MariaDB Error Codes.
You can query the mysql.user table to view which host/users have been set up:
However, the passwords are hashed, so you will not be able to view the passwords used.
