mysql permissions with 1and1 - php

Question

Does anyone know to give my user account access to a table? I connect to the database fine but when I try to select the table it tells me Access denied for user 'dboxxxxx'#'%' to database.
I'm using basic php code
$con = mysqli_connect('xxxxxx.db.1and1.com', 'xxxxx', 'xxxxxx');
if (!$con) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
else {echo 'success!';}
$selected = mysqli_select_db($con,'userTable');
if(!$selected){
die ('cannot use db: '.mysqli_error($con));
}
There is no permissions options on the 1and1 phpmyadmin that I can see unless I'm totally missing it. Anyone have any ideas?

Answer 1

First of all, you need to supply dboxxxxx as a username, not 'dboxxxxx'#'%'

Answer 2

Are you running this code localy or within your server? The 1und1 firewall blocks connections from the foreign networks

Answer 3

You're probably not making the connection to the database correctly.
Try the changes I made. Note that I do not know that you are using classes and functions.
UPDATE
$mysqli = new mysqli('xxxxx.db.1and1.com', 'xxxx', 'xxxx','xxxx');
if(mysqli_connect_errno ())
{
printf('Unable to connect to database ' . mysqli_connect_error());
}
else
{
$stmt = $mysqli->stmt_init();
if(!$stmt)
{
echo "init failed";
}
else
{
$cmd = "insert into `userTable` (`oauthtoken`,`oauthtokensec`,`userid`,screenname`) VALUES ('?','?','?','?')";
if($stmt->prepare($cmd))
{
$stmt->bind_param('1','1','1','1');
$stmt->execute();
echo $stmt->affected_rows . " Row(s) Inserted";
$stmt->close();
}
else
{
echo "Prepare Failed";
}
} $mysqli->close();
}
