Sorry to have bothered you. I believe I found the problem. I had a "1" (One) in the password instead of a l (L). it was working from the command prompt, because I was typing it in the same way, but from the application, it was stored. So, basically, I had the password wrong.

Are you connecting to the database you have access to? are you connecting as the same user (myuser)? Do other php applications work, so you know it's not a php-mysql issue?

I have set up a user to access the MySQL database, and from the command prompt, I can access it just fine. For instance, from the Ubuntu prompt, if I type MySQL -umyuser -p, it asks me for the password and after typing it in, I'm in. I can also see the only database I've given that user access to, and I tried a simple SELECT and it worked fine. However, when I access the database through the PHP application, I get the error, "Access denied for user 'trucksma_db'@'localhost' (using password: YES)" Can anyone tell me what the issue could be here? Why would I have "access denied" through the PHP application, but not through the MySQL client?
