Hi Try running a grant query
GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,DROP,ALTER ON database_name.* TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword'; which will probably fix it Peter -----Original Message----- From: Sparky Kopetzky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 30 March 2003 04:12 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] MySql Help needed Greetings! I am building an application in PHP and am creating a global $connect_id for MySql. I have MySql on a separate machine and am using the connect like this: $server = "development.myservermachine.net"; $username = "myname"; $password = "mypassword"; $connect_id = mysql_connect($server, $username, $password); All I get is 'Access denied for user '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password:YES) Now, I know I'm in the DNS server for my system, and the username and password are correct as I checked the User table. Any thoughts, ideas, etc. toward fixing this problem?? I'd appreciate any help provided.
