SpamAssassin PHP-SA-MYSQL

["Gene Grimm" <elessar@noi.net>]

I've tried searching web pages for assistance with this issue but have not
found anything relevant. While attempting to use the PHP-SA-MYSQL interface
to allow clients access to their options, I keep getting an error message
saying it is attempting to connect as 'root@localhost' while the
configuration variables are set as follows:

$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuser = "spamby";
$dbpass = "<somepass>";
$dbname = "spamassassin";

I can manually connect to the database as 'spamby@localhost' using the shell
'mysql' command, but the PHP script still attempts to connect as
'root@localhost'. I've restarted Apache several times without any success.
