Everybody's favorite problem but this one is strange. I can connect to my mysql 4.1.7 database fine from the command line, but php won't connect no matter what I try, I always get the same error.
Here is the script
<?php
$link = mysql_connect("localhost:3306", "xoops", "notmypassword" );
/* check connection */
if (!$link) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysql_error());
exit();
}
/* close connection */
$mysql->close();
?>
This is what I get, doesn't matter what username/password I use, or whether I use a socket or TCP/IP to connect.
Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
I find it annoying that it insists I am trying to connect as root with no password, when that is not the case. I know about the 4.1 password issues and that should not have anything to do with this error. It also does this if I set the passwords to NULL in the script and database.
Anyone have any help for me?
