Re: mysql_connect(...) = Not working. Where should I start?

[Luth -]

(Sorry if I dont understand this 100%)

As far as my limitied knowledge provides, I havent made any "query" calls. The extent of the PHP script is this:

//--------------------------------------------------
// ... retrieve args
$command = array_shift($args);
$host = array_shift($args);
$user = array_shift($args);
$password = array_shift($args);

$link = mysql_connect($host, $user, $password);
Process();
mysql_close($link);

function Process() {
if($link == FALSE) {
echo("Failed to connect: " . mysql_error());
return 0;
}
}
//--------------------------------------------------


This script, as it runs, provides this output:
Failed to connect: Lost connection to MySQL server during query


So, where should I start? :) Is there a reason why a PHP script on my webserver isnt permitted to connect to a MySQL server on another box? (they're not on the same server) I'm so lost. :(
