In reply to Tony. My best guess is that: 1) The reason you are getting Access denied for user ‘registerdb’@’localhost’ is because registerdb does not have access permission to the database. You need to grant registerdb permission to access the database. It has been many years since I've used AMPPS, but there should be an option to GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES for that user. 2) The reason you are getting (using password: NO) is because you are not using a password (i.e., the password is blank).

Hi, This is easy to follow. However it is not yet working for me I have provided a user ID and Password as directed but are getting the following message;
“Warning: mysqli_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user ‘registerdb’@’localhost’ (using password: NO) in C:\Program Files (x86)\Ampps\www\usermanagement\server.php on line 11″

// server.php on line 11 connect to database
$db = mysqli_connect(‘localhost’, ‘registerdb’, ”, ‘thepasswordhere’);

Why would it say “(using password: NO)”
