Try ...
mysql_connect('server:','user','password');
Where '' is the alternate port number.

Hello,
trying to connect to a mySQL database that runs on a 2nd mySQL server
and not the standard one, the 2nd mySQL has been assigned a different
port number
How do I change the connect to mySQL lines so the php file is trying
to open a connection to the mySQL server on the alternate port
