I understand what you are saying. Let's go further for the different tables privilege, if I have Select privilege on table A, and Delete privilege on table B of Database mydatabase, how can the built-in privilege tables to check on this problem since the mysql_connect doesn't include the client host IP?

In your situation, MySQL sees the client to be the web server, as it is the box that connects to the database and executes queries. If you need finer granualarity on the access controls at the MySQL level, you can pass different usernames/passwords to MySQL through the php mysql_connect() function dependant on what user is authenticated in to your web server. If you need to restrict clients on a per-IP basis, you can do this at the php level by checking the $REMOTE_ADDR variable and acting accordingly.
