Re: Problem w/ mysql_pconnect

Guys, I appreciate your input very much. This machine is a standalone unit. That's why I'm using "localhost". The user account has already been set-up in MySQL with the correct privileges, and I'm able to login at the console command prompt using "mysql -h localhost -u pauld -p my_pwd", with no problem at all. That's why I'm assuming that the problem lies somewhere else. Paul D wrote:

I'm using PHP 4.2.0 with MYSQL 3.23. When I try to use either the mysql_connect or mysql_pconnect to access the database, I get the following error message: Access denied for user: 'pauld@localhost.localdomain' (Using password: YES) I have tried different user names and nothing seems to work. If I use the functions without any parameters, it'll work just fine, and when I try access directly from the console, it'll work fine also. The problem seems to lie with the function parameters, which is written as follows:

 $db = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "pauld", "any_pwd") or                die($php_errormsg);

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
