MySQL ODBC Blues

[Anon]

Using W2K on my development box, have PHP 4.0.6 and MySQL 3.23.33. I downloaded the MySQL ODBC package and installed it, but am unable to connect because of a bad password, the ODBC driver keeps trying to append @servername (the name of the box) to the end of my user name.

Does anyone know how to keep this from happening?

What's the point of using ODBC when both PHP and mysql are on the same machine?

I use Visual Interdev to do my development, and it provides a great array of database management tools I would like to use, but to do so, I need a valid data connection.

The actual execution of the pages and talking between php and mysql is done through the normal channels, the server I use to post my stuff is on a linux with Apache.

And of course there is the fact that at work we use the Windows based environment with .asp, and we are looking at the feasibility of using MySQL, but in order to do it we need a valid ODBC connection.
