bogus "access denied" from php

Hi -- I was just trying to get a php script working that uses mysql. It keeps barfing up "Access Denied!" on pconnect, even though the login works fine. I verified this both by checking the mysql log when the script runs (the login succeeds, with no errors), and by checking the account with "mysql -u user -ppassword dbname". I'm using PHP 3.0.15, and mysql 3.23.32. I checked the PHP3 changelog & didn't see anything about mysql after the 3.0.15 release. Anyone have a clue? Here's the mysql log of the mysql_pconnect() call: 010318 0:07:23 4 Connect vphoto@localhost on test 4 Statistics 4 Change use vphoto@localhost on 4 Init DB test b.c.
