If you're using PHP (and say, apache), and connecting to a LOCAL mysql database, as in: mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "password") you have to have something like the following in mysql: GRANT ALL ON *.* TO "user"@"localhost" IDENTIFIED BY "password"; Timothy On Mon, 4 Dec 2000, Brett Astleford wrote: > hello all, > > I gotta problem, however this problem wanes between programming & system administration. Here it goes, when I log in mysql I get in fine. But when I try through code, something adds @localhost, example usr at localhost. Mysql doesn't like that @localhost.
