When I switch back to user root with empty password and use mysql_connect("localhost", "root") it works. I just found out when I set the permission for "myuser" to "localhost" instead of "any" it works also for "myuser". Now I have to check out why I canÂt use passwords. Maybe the PHP Version IÂm running is not ready to work with MySQL 4.1.4? Any Ideas? Regards, Chris Am Fr, den 24.09.2004 um 12:04 Uhr -0300 schrieb Pablo M.
