phpMYADMin

Alright people let me get this straight.
After i make a table with a few rows and such...and add all my info in the database usugin phpmyadmin
now i want to display that information on my site right, so i typed
mysql_connect("localhost","user","password");
right and then select database and so on

i got all the code right, is there somthng i have to do within phpMyAdmin to allow me to connect to my database?

Is there anyother thing that i must do in order to have my database accesible?

You need to actually enabme PHP and SQL, by posting at least 20 posts and requesting a PHP upgrade in the appropriate stickied thread.
