[ron814]

I tried to connect to other website and my code below are :

$host = "$hostname";
$mysqlusername = "$username";
$mysqlpassword = "$password";
$mysqldatabase = "$mydatabase";
$mysqlconnection = mysql_connect($hostname,$mysqlusername,$mysqlpassword);
mysql_select_db($mysqldatabase,$mysqlconnection);

of course i supplied the right host name, username and password but still  an error occur :
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user '$username'@'$hostname' (using password: YES) in /home/public_html/test_directory/sampleFile.php on line 7

Is there someone who could help me to solve, I would be greatful for your help.

You need to make sure your user has permissions to connect from the remote host. its all covered in the manual.

Post your exact code. It looks like (I should have noticed this within your first post) $username & $hostname are literally being passed to mysql_connect.
