I have a download.php file that connects to a remote mysql database. If I run it using

php download.php

it works fine. But if I create another php file form.php and then submit the form to this download.php, it complains the following:

Can't connect to MySQL server on '<IP_ADDRESS>' (13)

Does anyone know why this might be happening? I can't see a reason why this works directly but fails to work upon form submission...
