Thanks Thorsten. But how come it is not working?

I need the information for a script that connects to PHPmyFaq and retreives some information to display it on my home page.

I looked in that file you told me, and got the data from there, but doesn't seem to be correct? the password for example, is a bunch of letters and numbers, which I don't remember ever setting.

I also went to my host control panel, and tried to login to my PMF database, and the information there looks different from the ones in the file. In fact, when I logged in from PHPmyAdmin, the PMF database was empty (just few empty records here and there)

I am so confused and not sure what is going on. I would really appreciate any further guidance on how to find my the database where PMF is installed on. Could it be that the database where PMF is installed on, is not showing in my PHPmyadmin?

Hi,

this depends on your configuration. Does phpMyFAQ work normally?

Yes it does. But then again, I don't use it a lot.

What other way can we find out the information, and tables in PMF database, other than through PHPmyadmin?

Ok this is weird.

I have a bunch of databases, and I found the one for PMF, and I am able to login to it (although the information is different fron the ones found in the data.php file)

When I login, on the left, I see databases drop down menu, one has my PMF name on it (with no. 2 in brackets) and the second one is called 'information_schema' and that has no. 17 beside it. I click on both of them and I don't see any data related to my current PMF install.

This could have been an old databse I originally setup for PMF, that is why it doesn't have any information. But then again, where is the real database for PMF? that is what I am so confused about, I can't see it under my list of databases.
