Cath,
It depends, is the php (on apache I assume) running on the same machine?
If it is, than usually rejecting 127.0.0.1 will do the trick (given that
the /etc/hosts file has an entry for localhost). If it's a remote
connection, than you will need to look at all your configuration
settings to try and determine this issue.

Glad that other bit of info helped though.
