I think what's happening is that it isn't getting my user name.

The error message is this:

Could not connect: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'the name of my database'

Looks to me like I am telling it that my user name is @localhost ?

I have done this:

I added code above my select statement:

$database = mysql_pconnect(all the details here without using variables) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);

Now my script will go one line further than before.

It lists the categories but not the subcategories.
