 * Excellent, I have everything working correctly.
 * I started over with a fresh copy of wordpress and did not edit the wp-config.
   php file. Then I followed the directions which and still got errors where it 
   couldn’t communicate with the database. I went into phpmyadmin and noticed that
   the user wordpress was on the host ‘any host’ – I’d forgotten to change it to‘
   localhost’. After changing that, everything went smoothly.
 * Thank you for your help!

 * [@fonglh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fonglh/): Yes, my wordpress database
   user has full rights.
 * [@arkgroup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arkgroup/): There are three values
   under display_error in the php.ini file.
    The default value and development value
   are both ‘on’, and the production value is off. Should I change that?
 * The syntax error is something I did on purpose (by adding an extra quotation 
   mark) to check whether it was still processing the php, and I removed it after
   I got the syntax error message.
 * How do I let WordPress create the wp-config file?
 * > This means database user root at localhost database server.
 * Should it say database user wordpress (the user I created) at wordpress (the 
   database I created) database server instead?

 * Also, on the phpmyinfo homepage, on the right side under the heading MySQL, it
   says “user: root@localhost”. Should that be something to do with the wordpress
   user I created instead? Sorry about all of this potentially meaningless information.

 * Looking at the ‘Privileges’ tab in the wordpress database I created before, I’m
   seeing that there are four users – 3 named root, and the 1 named wordpress that
   I created. Each of the ones named root have different hosts (127.0.0.1, ::1, 
   and localhost), and the host for the user named wordpress is %. Does this have
   any significance, or should it not affect anything?

 * Thanks for the speedy reply.
 * I know that PHP is working because I have another site coded in PHP on WAMP that
   is still working fine.
