Re: mysql_connect remote machine

I'd come to the same conclusion myself. The problem which I have is that the server running the php script appends @itsdomain.com to the user name which I pass. I've tried creating a username that looks like username@itsdomain.com on the mysql server but this doesn't seem to work (there are no errors reported by MySQL, I just get the same error message as before. Any ideas?
