Yep, phpmyadmin connects to hostingdatabases.orcon.net.nz without any problem - but I can't connect to this from the webserver.
Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'hostingdatabases.orcon.net.nz' (4) in /home/users/username/domain.co.nz/testsite/test.php on line 3 Could not connect: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'hostingdatabases.orcon.net.nz' (4) Trying localhost, I get: Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'usern...@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/users/username/domain.co.nz/testsite/test.php on line 5 Could not connect: Access denied for user: 'usrn...@localhost' (Using password: YES) So I can connect to localhost, but user is not valid, whereas I can't connect to mysql @ hostingdatabases.orcon.net.nz I'm stumped, as is Orcon.... Back on the phone to them for th e10th time...

Possibly the host that your site's on doesn't have access to the database, if you can access 'privileges' from your PhpMyAdmin login, you may be able to see what hosts have access Warning: This email contains information which is CONFIDENTIAL and may also be LEGALLY PRIVILEGED.
