    Some days I think I just hold my mouth wrong. I had started with ‘localhost’ and was recieving an error that many others have reported. Changed the string as I mentioned above, got a different error. I attempted ‘localhost’ one more time and bingo.
    Sometimes . . . it just escapes me. Sorry for the bother. But most importantly, thanks for the support!!

    Thanks podz for replying.
    Cpanels gives two examples after the database name, username and password are created. For Perl the example is:
    $dbh = DBI->connect(“DBI:mysql:netbased_nblog:localhost”,”netbased_nblog”,”<PASSWORD HERE>”);
    For PHP the example is:
    $dbh=mysql_connect (“localhost”, “netbased_nblog”, “<PASSWORD HERE>”) or die (‘I cannot connect to the database because: ‘ . mysql_error()); mysql_select_db (“netbased_nblog”);
    As you can see above, I inserted the PHP connection string between the ‘ ‘ replacing localhost. Does this give you any insights?
    Thanks again, Don
