server
The MySQL server. It can also include a port number. e.g. "hostname:port" or a path to a local socket e.g. ":/path/to/socket" for the localhost.

This info was taken from

http://uk2.php.net/mysql_connect

hope this helps

Apparently the board thought that you meant to insert a smiley by typing colon port (": p", without space). But yes, that is the correct syntax. Just add the port number after the host name in mysql_connect():

mysql_connect("localhost:3309", "username", "password");
