1) Windows ME seems incapable of applying passwords to usernames. On my webspace, I can only log into the SQL database if I include the password. On my WinME PC, only if I do NOT give a password.
The platform on which you run the MySQL server makes no difference in terms of how it uses passwords. If the problem above involves two different MySQL servers, then the difference in behavior is probably a function of how each in set up in terms of what's in the grant tables.
Sounds like the WinME server still has the initial accounts that are set up when you install MySQL. None of those accounts have passwords until you change them so that they do have passwords. At that point, you'll need to supply a password to connect.
2) Using the Opera browser, I open my pages and it sends variables through "?var1=value1&var2=value2" perfectly until I tried using a form and realised I am not getting anything back from $PHPSELF...
This doesn't seem to be a MySQL question...?
