Windows XP
PHP 5.1.2
Apache 2.0.55
Mysql 5.0.18

I wrote some code using mysquli() to connect to a Mysql database and list the contents of a table:

	$host = "localhost";
	$user = "root";
	$pass = "password";
	$db = "database";
   
	$mysqli = new mysqli($host, $user, $pass, $db);

	$query = "SELECT * FROM table";

This worked fine, outputting the expected table data.


I added some code to insert data into the table utilising a form:

	<form action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post">
	data: <input type="text" name="data"><br />
	<input type="submit" name="submit">
	</form>

	$query = "INSERT INTO table (data) VALUES ('$data')";
    
	$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Error in query: $query. ".mysql_error());

This resulted in an error message when the submit button was clicked: "You don't have permission to access /< on this server."

So I stripped out the form code, hard coded the data to be inserted in the table and re executed the query:

	// Data to be inserted into database
	$data = "dummy";	
	
	$query = "INSERT INTO table ( data ) VALUES ('$data')";
    
	// execute query
	$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Error in query: $query. ".mysql_error());
    
and was rewarded with the following Mysql message: "Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO)"

Any idea what's causing this?
