    Is the database information correct?
    PHP Code:
    [LEFT]<?[/LEFT]
    [
    LEFT]$name $_GET['name'];[/LEFT]
    [
    LEFT]echo "Hi, your name is $name";[/LEFT]
    [
    LEFT]?>[/LEFT]
    [LEFT][/LEFT]

    Yep i updated it and it says this now

    Attempting to attach to database
    Error description: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'forum_forum'@'localhost' (using password: YES) /home/forum/public_html/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 271
    The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please confirm the values entered in the 'includes/config.php' file.

    It seems like you have put the wrong database name. forum_forum?
    Normally your username is the prefix for database names and database user names.
    So if your account user name is nelly it would be nelly_forum
