Well, after thinking more about it, if there was a version skew problem, I would see the same results when I run it from the prompt, ie. ./mysql on the webserver. We know the network is open between the machines as the ./mysql test works and connects fine. I don't know much about the internals of PHP and it's ability to connect to remote hosts, but I think it's something to do with that. How can I check that? Thanks, Cameron
