As I said, seems like password retrieval makes no difference. I have
connectdb() function which look like this:
function connectdb() {
        global $mysql_host, $mysql_user, $mysql_pass, $dbid;
       	$dbid = mysql_connect( $mysql_host, $mysql_user, $mysql_pass);
        if(!$dbid) {
        $file = fopen("/tmp/mysql-err", "a+");
        $line  = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . ":" . date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
        $line .= ":$mysql_host:$mysql_user:$mysql_pass - $dbid:" .
mysql_error() . "\n";
	fputs($file, $line);
	fclose($file);
        }
        return $dbid;
}

and here is what gets logged into /tmp/mysql-err:
/index.php:2003-05-05 14:30:53:db1.m-1.lan:public:secret - :Access
denied for user: 'public@10.10.12.254' (Using password: NO)

so function retrieves the password fine.

Thanks for the report.

Do you retrieve your password from any dynamic way or is it static?

We are currently using MySQL 4.0.12. This bug occurs occasionaly and
there is no way to guess what makes it appear. Even if there are
"hardcoded" username and password into the function, i.e. not passing
variables to it, like mysql_connect("mysql.host", "public", "secret"),
PHP reports Warning:

[05-May-2003 14:06:17] PHP Warning:  mysql_connect() [<a
href='http://www.php.net/function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]:
Access denied for user: 'public@10.10.12.254' (Using password: NO) in
/var/www/sala.lt/htdocs/skundai/classes/db.php on line 10

So the problem is that warning (or mysql_error() message) about not
using password is not correct.
