can anyone help me.

I fear there is no readily-available answer remember if this was easy everybody would be experts and your qualification would mean ziltch.

Google for a solution. Here is a suggestion:

All you need to do is edit the following file if you have an admin rights

c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts // search for hosts - it may depend on your OS
Uncomment the line that says

127.0.0.1 localhost // i.e. remove the #

............................

I had this problem.

This is what it should look like if you're having problems:

$connect = mysql_connect('127.0.0.1','root',''; // as against using "localhost"
