hi, these were my experience:
first i created a form in dreamweaver and saved it with .php extension inside a folder (i created earlier) in htdocs
then i went to phpMyadmin and created a table with number of fields equal to those i had on my form,
after these i Opened the PHP page i created in Dreamweaver, then opened the Databases panel (Window > Databases).
i Clicked the Plus (+) button on the panel and select MySQL Connection from the pop-up menu.
The MySQL Connection dialog box appeared and i completed it however each time i clicked "Select" to select the database from the list of MySQL databases,i kept on getting this message
"MySQL Error#: 2005
Unknown MySQL server host 'root' (11004)" or
"MySQL Error#:
1045 Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost'(using password:YES)".
pls i need a detailed explanation
thanks

First error: I doubt your computer is named root

Second: If your MySQL username is admin, then it's most likely you supplied the wrong password.

pls how do i know mysql username and password am i to create it, pls am new to this thing i will like it if u will explain things fully not just briefly

You login to phpMyAdmin with one.

To create others go to the Privileges link on the first page after you login to phpMyAdmin

Unless you have changed something in the default settings:
host = localhost
username= root
Password is whatever you set or it may be null (nothing).
