Re: creating a user, connection fails (PHP connection to mysql)

[Andrew Wallace]

Ok, so I got a littlle more information. I can "use" my user in the connect statement, as long
as there is no password involved. My PHP connect statement is:

$result = mysql_connect('localhost', 'webuser', '');

This works, as long as there is no password in the user table for webuser. I am using
phpmyadmin on the mysql server (I have no physical access to the machine -it is
a windows 2K box). If I add a password, my connect fails. I have tried using PASSWORD
and MD5 for encrypting the password on the way in, neither works.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Andy
