mysql login-user gone in script??

[appied]

Hi,

If i look at the following code i can't understand the outcome:

class DBASE { 
  // var to hold the db-link-id
  var $dbConnection 

 //constructor 
  function DBASE() { 

  //connecten to database 
  $this->myConnection = mysql_connect('dbserver','dbusername','dbpass') or die ("DB Connect failed"); 

  //database selection
   mysql_select_db('dbname', $this->myConnection) or die (mysql_error()); 
  } 

} 


$myDB = new DBASE;

Now, the result is:

Access denied for user: '@dbserver to database 'dbname' 

where i expected the message to be:

Access denied for user: 'dbuser@dbserver to database 'dbname' 

or even the die() message at mysql_connect(): DB Connect failed

why is the username lost in this message???

Thanks for looking in to this...
