No, no spaces.
I am wondering if I need to use htmlspecialchars()

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.

Sorry. The error displayed is:

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'.
Do your user or password contain spaces, thereby requiring quotes in your call?

Why does the error message refer to "mysql-connect" and not "mysql_connect"?
