"blind leading another blind" ;-)
Hi, i am a not-a-total-newbie myself - so here comes nothing...
See if you get the same result (errors) when you use the local computer's
real IP address or the localhost IP "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost" in
your mysql_connect().
Don't ask me if this solve it, but try - it might help.
