Question : Mysql Script Wont Connect to Remote Server

My coder recently parted ways, and I recently moved to a new mysql server, this is causing a script he made to break. Unfortunately I have no familiarity with php and only slight familiarity with mysql, so I'm looking to the experts for some help.

I seem to be getting quite a few mysql errors, I have already changed the script to reflect the new server.

Here is the part in the script that has connection info, it all seems to be right:

function tc_mq($query) {
      $host = 'panel.*******.com';
      $username = 'dbname';
      $password = '*****';
      $db = 'dbname';
      mysql_pconnect($host,$username,$password);
      mysql_select_db($db);
      return mysql_query($query);
}


I made sure that info is correct, I also issued the GRANT command on the new mysql server to allow that remote ip to connect, what else could I be doing wrong?

Thanks, Brad

The manual teaches you how to add users and permissions to go with that user;
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/adding-users.html

I suggest reading this page for a full understanding.
