MySQL/Create User

Dont use mysql-root because of lazyness ;)

Create a new user "fnord" with password "foobar".:

INSERT INTO mysql.user (user, host, password)
   VALUES ('fnord', 'localhost', PASSWORD('foobar'));

Create a new database "grudnuk":

CREATE DATABASE grudnuk;

Give permissions to the user "fnord" on all tables of the db "grudnuk":

GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP
   ON grudnuk.* TO fnord;

Dont forget to update permissions:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Testscript (written in PHP):

<?php

  /* Modification of a simple mysqlscript from php.net: http://www.php.net/mysql */

  /* Connect to DB */
  $link = mysql_connect("localhost", "fnord", "foobar")
  or die("Cannot connect to mysql: " . mysql_error());
  echo "Connected!";
  mysql_select_db("grudnuk") or die("Cannot connect to DB");

  /* Execute a sql-statement (only if you already have some data in your new db*/
  $query = "SELECT * FROM tablename";
  $result = mysql_query($query) or die("Query not successful: " . mysql_error());

  /* HTML-Output */

echo "

\n"; while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { echo "\t\n"; foreach ($line as $col_value) { echo "\t\t\n";

  }

echo "\t\n"; } echo "

$col_value

\n";

 /* Free Resultset */
 mysql_free_result($result);

 /* Close Connection */
 mysql_close($link);

?>
