Darrel,

Based on another one of your posts, "Ooh! Had my hopes up there for a 
minute. I didn't have php-mysql installed. Installed it, restarted mySQL 
and HTTPD, but, alas, still can't connect."  I have sense that this 
issue has something to do with how you actually installed phpWS.  This 
is especially true when you resolved the php-mysql issue.   Would you 
please list the steps, the platform you are using, etc.?  There are 
platform specific steps that you must take for phpwebsite to work.  It's 
not that you should give up on phpWS but the combination of platform and 
other installed products that are making your life miserable.  Would you 
also comment on how closely you followed the steps in the 
phpWebSiteRoot/doc/INSTALL.txt file?
