First connect to the database, this allows you to check that your user named 'a9466816_db' really exists in the database, and has the password you provided.

If you don't know how to connect to mysql through php then I suggest you go through a tutorial on how to write php and its many different functions. You can't just jump in to making a text-based rpg without learning the different programming languages you're going to be using.Writing your own rpg is a big project and requires coding skills and up-to-date security techniques to protect your users.I'm going to be writing an article in the tutorials section on writing a basic rpg game. Keep an eye out for it.

How do i connect?

install phpmyadmin, or use the one provided with your Xisto cpanel, and you will be able to administrate your database, see the users, connect as a user, etc...

I think you should install XAMPP or uniform server on your computer. Once you install those you can experiment with php and mysql easily. Start slowly, don't go directly into connectivity if you don't know how to. Start with working locally on php files then get into database programming. There are some tutorials for working with database on xampp or uniform server. Some online tutorials applies to example only online server, you can modify them to work locally.

Lol. When you're done with the project then don't forget to post the code here so that others can learn from you. I mean if you choose to open source your code. Else no worries you can keep it to yourselves. Showing that to others does help atleast to newbies.
