You did receive two replies, but didn't reply to either one of them.
When the connection to mysql fails, it can be either an authentication
problem (the well-know old-style passwords issue maybe?) or it cannot
find the php_mysql.dll.

In the first case try printing mysql_error() on failure. Repressing the
notices from mysql_connect, using the @ sign won't really help in
finding what the problem is, so remove that too.

In the second case try to move the php_mysql.dll to a folder in the
systempath as EmC already suggested.

HTH.
Peter.
