Trouble Connecting to MySQL
So, I just got a new computer (excellent), but I cannot connect to MySQL via my PHP pages.

Running Windows XP Pro, I've installed IIS and MySQL 4. I can connect to the database from the Command line, and PHPMyAdmin works fine. But when I try to run this code from PHP:

PHP Code:
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'gareth', '[password]') or die("Could not connect");
mysql_select_db('test'); 
I get this result:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'gareth@localhost' (Using password: YES) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\tbrooks\TMP2j9oqxq230.php on line 7
Could not connect

I've checked everything. Running WinMySQLAdmin, I can see that I have the user and password right. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Dude, what is this?!? IIS can run PHP?!?

If so, this changes everything!

I don't know a fix for your problem, by the way. Sorry.

Have you tried password without the square brackets?
Does the user gareth have permissions to access the database?

looks like you didn't grant your user the proper privileges to access the db

That's just it. Gareth *is* the user who's been set up. When I run winmysqladmin, gareth is identified as the user.
