Hello all,
I am using php and mysql with phpmyadmin. I am trying to set up a username 
and password in mysql so that when I use 

if(!$db_conn = mysql_connect('localhost', 'username', "password")) {
  echo 'Could not connect to the Database Server';
} 

with the correct username and password it will connect me. I used phpmyadmin 
to add the user to the users table in the mysql database. I used the 
following sql statement: 

INSERT INTO user (Host,User,Password) 
VALUES('localhost','jeffrey',PASSWORD('biscuit')); 

and the record was created in the table. 

When I try to connect to the db via the php 

if(!$db_conn = mysql_connect('localhost', 'jeffrey', "biscuit")) {
  echo 'Could not connect to the Database Server';
} 

it tells me: 

Warning: Access denied for user: 'jeffrey@localhost' (Using password: YES) 
in /home/httpd/htdocs/helpdesk/test.php 


What have I done wrong? 

cheers 

Hamish
