RE: [PHP-DB] Connecting to MySQL

Sounds like either: 1) You don't have your correct username/password info in the mySQL/user table or 2) Your server is bound to an IP address or something (a frequent problem on Win machines, but it looks like you're using Linux or something) The localhost part isn't really the username that is being sent. It simply appends the @localhost so you can see where you're connecting to. I would check the users table in the mysql database. - Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: Keith Whyman [mailto:k.whyman@bf-72.de] Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2001 7:52 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] Connecting to MySQL Can anyone help with this problem ! user name should just be keith but the @localhost gets added and then I can't connect ???
