Hi,

Im getting the error
Warning: mysqli_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user 'map1user'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in C:\xampp\htdocs\projectgmaps\config.php on line 7

and

Warning: mysqli_error() expects exactly 1 parameter, 0 given in C:\xampp\htdocs\projectgmaps\config.php on line 7
Not connected : Ah sh*t

config.php file:

<?php
$host = "localhost"; 
$user = "map1user";
$password = "map1password";
$database = "map1";

$connection = mysqli_connect ($host, $user, $password) or die('Not connected : Ah sh*t ' . mysqli_error());
?>

Otherfile:

<?php
require("config.php");

function parseToXML($htmlStr)
{
$xmlStr=str_replace('<','<',$htmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace('>','>',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace('"','"',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace("'",''',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace("&",'&',$xmlStr);
return $xmlStr;
}

// Opens a connection to a MySQL server
//$connection=mysqli_connect ('localhost', 'username', 'password');
//if (!$connection) {
//  die('Not connected : Ah sh*t ' . mysqli_error());
//}

// Set the active MySQL database
$db_selected = mysqli_select_db($database, $connection);
if (!$db_selected) {
  die ('Can\'t use db : ' . mysqli_error());
}

// Select all the rows in the markers table
$query = "SELECT * FROM markers WHERE 1";
$result = mysqli_query($query);
if (!$result) {
  die('Invalid query: ' . mysqli_error());
}

header("Content-type: text/xml");

// Start XML file, echo parent node
echo "<?xml version='1.0' ?>";
echo '<markers>';
$ind=0;
// Iterate through the rows, printing XML nodes for each
while ($row = @mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)){
  // Add to XML document node
  echo '<marker ';
  echo 'id="' . $row['id'] . '" ';
  echo 'name="' . parseToXML($row['name']) . '" ';
  echo 'address="' . parseToXML($row['address']) . '" ';
  echo 'lat="' . $row['lat'] . '" ';
  echo 'lng="' . $row['lng'] . '" ';
  echo 'type="' . $row['type'] . '" ';
  echo '/>';
  $ind = $ind + 1;
}

// End XML file
echo '</markers>';

?>

I'm actually following the guide by google on https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/mysql-to-maps#echoxml

But its giving me those errors. Does anyone know why? (Im on the Checking the XML output bit using the echo option)

What I have tried:

Ive tried typing the usernames and passwords in directly and via variable.
Ive tried moving the mysqli connect function to the config file instead
Ive tried creating a new database, a new user, a new table.

I cant get this working.

Any help appreciated!
