my PHP programs are working great to access Oracle 11g1 and MySQL 5.1 I entered a bad value for user name /passwordand got a message Could not connect: Access denied for user 'landon'@'localhost' (using password: YES) I restarted the script under Firefox 3.0.5 and got the same error message without a chance to enter username/password If I clean the cache, it works OK This problem only occurs with the MySQL script that is nearly identical to the Oracle script that doesn't show the problem. This must be a familiar problem with you web programmers! -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
