Subject: [PHP] Can't connect to MySQL via PHP

Hello all.

I used the code below successfully to connect to a MySQL db on one
hosting provider.  I've moved the code to a new hosting provider with
new values and it returns:

Access denied for user 'user'@'db.hostprovider.net' (using password:
YES)

Even though I can copy and paste these three values (host, user and
pass) and paste into Navicat to make a connection.  So the credentials
are correct, but they are not authenticating when used in PHP.  I've
tried making host "localhost" and "127.0.0.1". both with the same
result.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here?

Appreciate it.

Thanks,
--Rick



$db_name = "mydb";
$vc_host    = "db.hostprovider.net";
$vc_user    = "user";
$vc_pass    = "pass";

$connection = @mysql_connect($vc_host, $vc_user, $vc_pass); $db =
mysql_select_db($db_name, $connection);

echo mysql_error();

Try this for me

-----------------------------------------------------------

$db = mysql_connect($vc_host, $vc_user, $vc_pass);
mysql_select_db($db_name, $db);

if (!$db) {
   die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($db);


Could not connect: Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: 
YES)

Using mysqli_ returns the same error message as well.

Isn't that just telling you that the uid is not defined for the proper access to any mysql db? It's been awhile since I set my accesses up so I can't remember. I have one user that I use to do all my connections with. That user is declared for each db with full access.
