They aren't on the same server. The DB is on xeround.com, the web server
is localhost.
The host value is set and working. If I hard-code the user and password
values in the mysql_connect() call and leave the host value as is, it
connects fine. Only passing the user and password from the form cause it
to fail.

Thanks,

I know this has probably been answered already.
When I pass a user name and password from a form to my PHP script and
then pass those to mysql_connect it doesn't connect. When I paste those
exact same values into mysql_connect as string literals it works.
Can anyone tell me why this happens?
I know the strings are identical to the literals I try in a test but
they don't work when submitted via form.
$form_user = $_POST[ 'user' ];
$form_pass = $_POST[ 'password' ];
# Connect to remote DB
$LINK = mysql_connect( $host, $form_user, $form_pass );
Please show the error you are getting from the mysql_connect
And yes, my $host param is correct.
Thanks,

First guess is that you don't have privileges for
'<user>'@'ip70-162-142-180.ph.ph.cox.net', but you may have privileges for
'<user>'.
And, what are you using for the $host value? If the script and mysql are on
the same server, it shouldn't need to be anything other than 'localhost'.
