OK I will look further and try these ideas today. Cheers, M.

Agh! GLOBALS GLOBALS GLOBALS. For a future suckers' reference, the variable was not available in its scope, and was thus passing null as the username to mysql_connect, which in turn was connecting to the database as @localhost. Thanks for your help, pardon my stupidity :) Kind regards, Elliot. On Wed, 16 Feb 2005, Elliot Mackenzie wrote: I have an update for this. I used mysql_connect to connect to the database and then ran the query select current_user(). I discovered that despite using mysql_connect specifying a username and password, it still insisted on connecting as @localhost, but with no user. The @localhost user does not have the permissions it needs to show databases other than test, and this explains 100% why I am seeing the results I am seeing. I can login to the command-line client and see exactly what PHP is seeing now (which is a relief). The question is now: why would I be connecting as @localhost instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] when I specify both a username and password along with mysql_connect? There are no mysql-related defaults set in php.ini other than a path to the socket. Kind regards, Elliot.

[PHP-DB] Database visible via mysql CLI but not MOD_PHP with same username
