Do you actually see $Password in the error message? In that case I would think (but can't be sure since you didn't post your PHP code - please do that next time!) that you may have used singe quotes around $Password in your pconnect() call as well as for your error printing. Either remove the single quotes, or change them to double quotes. PHP does not expand variables for single-quoted strings.
