My include, navigationDB.inc, contains: CODE: <?php $navigation_hostName = "nasServer"; $navigation_databaseName = "navigation"; $navigation_userName = "stan"; $navigation_passWord = "password"; ?> END CODE: (no change) and I added an instance of that user with that password at the new IP address on the MySQL server before testing. Hmmm ... but what I didn't do was restart MySQL. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
