MySQL Database access

[Snaked]

For the past month, i have been programming a game. I have setup an engine to connect to a mysql database and retrieve a set of highscores / send in a highscore. I have tested this through PHP on the same host (uploaded to my website) with success. But, when I try to connect through the game with the same login/host details, it fails... The code i use in-game is correct and with a separate MySQL database (different host) it works just like it should.
$host = "localhost";
$user = "snaked";
$pass = "******************";
$scores_db = "snaked_mmcdb";

that is how my game connects. And fails.

How can i get it to connect properly?
The game is going to be released as freeware on the website. Oh, I am using this for other things apart from mysql, so don't get me wrong...

TA,
Snaked

Seems like that your using your account user name as datbase user. you need to create mysql user and set permission for accessing database . after that edit your configuration file like this



$host = "localhost";
$user = "snaked_xxxx";
$pass = "******************";
$scores_db = "snaked_mmcdb";
