I can connect in the php by using 'root' and the root pw. But when I tried adding a user ( sarah ) with GRANT I cannot connect from php. The php is simple, what am I overlooking? Again putting the root user name and pw it'll work in php but not for sarah:
the php.... mysql_pconnect("localhost","sarah","camera") or die("ERROR: Could not connect to database!"); mysql_select_db("howto"); *But* on the command line the sarah user works OK: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>mysql -u sarah -p Enter password: ****** Welcome to the MySQL monitor.
