    i was trying to set up my database info into the cPanel, but when i made a username and then added a database of ‘wordpress’ it doesnt give me anywhere to add:

    $dbh = mysql_connect("hostname", "username", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ("message");
mysql_select_db("databasename");

    or at least see it 🙁

    any help
