Php include files

[dme1409]

Hi

if i use include ("include/db_connect.php");

and my include/db_connect.php file looks like this .

<?
$connection = mysql_connect("localhost", "mysqluser", "mysqlpassword") or die ("Couldn't connect to the server");
$db = mysql_select_db("mysqldb", $connection) or die ("Couldn't select database");
?>
<?

My page return the following

Access denied for user 'mysqluser'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

However if I add the contentent to the php file itself it does work.

any ideas

c
