Using the script below, I was able to connect to a database named "contacts" for output.
*However*, when I insert a [username] and [password] in place of the "" "", I get: "Couldn't connect to the database" - eventhough I am able to connect to mysql. How do I go about replacing the "" and "" to insert a password and username so that it can be connected to a database? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
