I am getting very strange type of PDO connection problem. I am using following code to create a pdo object try { $dbase = new PDO("mysql:host=$hostname;dbname=$db", $user, $pass); // echo 'Connected to database'; } catch(PDOException $e) { echo $e->getMessage(); } PHP: Code is in a include file so all pages access Mysql using this code. I am getting problem only in one page. At first page load everything is fine. this page submit a form to iteself. After submitting form I get this error SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'user_name'@'localhost' (using password: YES) (All other site pages are working fine. There is no issue in creating pdo object and accessing Mysql). Can somebody help me fixing this issue.
