Webmatrix Access denied for user ''@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Question

I have a problem with a mysqli_query in this code:

  <?php

  session_start();
  $user = $_POST['user'];
  $pwd = $_POST['pwd'];
  include "connect.php";


  if ($user && $pwd){

  // infos provided
  $queryget=mysqli_query("SELECT * FROM Tmembers WHERE user='$user' AND pwd='$pwd'");
  $numrows=mysqli_num_rows("$queryget");

 if ($numrows !=0){
                    $_SESSION['user'] =$user;
                    echo "you have successfully logged in .";
                  }

 else echo "you r not a member, please sign in  ";
               }

                else{
                        echo "you didn't enter any entries !!!";
                        include "connect.php";
                     }
  ?>

it returns this error : Access denied for user ''@'localhost' (using password: NO)

I am working on webmatrix, with a Mysql database not (sql server) and I connected to it successfuly via connect.php, and it has a password, the table Tmembers has two colomns user and pwd, I don't know how to fix this access bug

Answer 1

The error states no password was specified even though it exists in the code. So basically the error does not match the statement mysqli_connect("localhost", "root"... which means the database thinks you aren't even attempting to connect in the first place.

Try replacing mysqli_connect() with mysql_connect() see if that helps.

Answer 2

The first parameter of mysqli_query should be the connection resource from your connect statement. Then pass your sql query string as a second parameter.
