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.
