Acces denied for user

[JodokusKwak]

I use this routine to connect to the MySQL-database:
function makeconnection() {
// use: $connection = makeconnection();

$result = mysql_connect("localhost:3306","{username}","{password}");
if (!$result) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
return $result;
}

and the system returns with this warning:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user '{username}'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in {path}login.php on line 6
Could not connect: Access denied for user '{username}'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

In PHPAdmin I can access the database with the {username} and {password}.
I have not set a ini-file, simple I don't know where to set this file. Is this maybe the problem???

Why don't you try simple

$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');

I tried that already but with the same result.

Why don't you try simple

$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');

What if you try

127.0.0.1

instead of

localhost

Sorry to say, but the result is the same.
Thanks anyway.

No more ideas then.

If you want I can check your server, but it will cost you some USD. Feel free to PM me if you're interested.

I have solved the problem by re-installing some files. Don't know what I did wrong before, but it worked.
The only thing now is that I hit syntax-errors, but I hope to resolve these by myself.
Thanks for your help.

What files did you re-install? Is it PHP scripts? Or what?

I reset my PHP-files and I also reset the users authentication in the database (to the same settings) and after that it worked. Beets me, but that is passed so I don't look back.
