Thank you all vey much for answering these questions so clearly. Your
help is greatly appreciated.

Jerry, regarding the different user name in the mysql_connect call, I
meant to write it as shown below, but I tried "root" as the user also
with the same results. Still a bit of a mystery to me.

$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "mike", ""); // This fails.
$conn = mysql_connect("127.0.0.1", "mike", ""); // This works.
