php or mysql problem?

Hi! Im new on this list and have a problem with mysql. I hope this is the right list. anyway, I can't get mysql working with php. this is the code: $db = mysql_connect("localhost","dala","dala") or die ("Could not connect to MySQL."); $result = mysql_db_query("dala","select * from kategori", $db); if(!$result) { echo mysql_error($db); exit; } the user, password and databasename is the same, "dala". the error message i get is: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'dala' i get this from the $result... row. if I echo $db I get 1. The weird part is that he sais user '@localhost'! The user is "dala"! and i have wrote "dala" in mysql_connect. i can connect manually, so thats not the problem. i have tried everything. i have connected to the test database in mysql, same error (but different database of course). i have installed php 3.0.12, mysql 3.22.25, apache 1.3.6. i have recompiled them several times. Nothing works! Help me! Best regards Daniel Fosselius
