yep, I have it as this:
$host = "localhost"; //
$user= "thisismydbusername"; //
$password= "thisismydbpassword"; //
$database="proguide_gallery"; //
No go. I made it this:
$host = "localhost"; //
$user= "thisismyusername"; //
$password= "thisismypassword"; //
$database="proguide_gallery"; //
// Connecting, selecting database
$link = mysql_connect ("$host", "$user", "$password") or die ("I cannot connect to the database.");
Still no go. ; (
