If I have a user who has all rights to a database and can connect to mysql from a shell prompt, see and make changes to that database but when the same user trys to connect via a php page gets an "Access denied for user...." message. What do I need to check/look at to fix this?

The "user" isnt the one connecting, your webserver is the one connecting, normally apache will run with group apache and user apache, set up a user called apache and allow access rights to the db. ***************************************
