mysql connect problem

Hi: I have recently upgraded from a Mac G4 running OS 10.3.9 to a G5 running OS 10.4. I ported a working PHP app and upgraded from PHP 4.3.4 to 4.3.10 and MySQL 4.0.17 to 4.1.11. I am having a problem connecting to MySQL from PHP. I can connect to the database using either phpMyADMIN or directly from terminal mode using MySQL commands. However, when I try to enter the database from php, using $result = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "api_user", "97533"); I get $result = FALSE. This command works on the old system as does the MySQL command: mysql -u api_user -p I am using the identical php.ini on the new and old machines. Any help in getting over this hurdle would be appreciated. Jim -- Jim Feldman 14 Linda Lane Newton, MA 02461 617-527-0509
