    I am very new to this and need some help. I am updating a website and am converting it from ASP.net to php and mysql. Kind of silly to be using discountasp.net, buI was wondering if it can be done without switching the hosting.

    I created a DB, and attempted to connect to it with the following

    mysql_connect(localhost, $username, $password);
    mysql_select_db($DB) or die('Unable to select database');


    Any help would be great. Thanks

    From the statement you provided, you are trying to connect to an instance of mySQL on the IIS server, this will not work because no mySQL server is installed on the web server.
