Are you putting your provided names in the spots: "localhost" "root" and "".

In other words, those are "localhost" "user" and "user_pw"

Here's a less confusing one:
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>
