That is why you should try with PhpMyAdmin. Maybe your PHP is not set up 
correctly.
I can not much help you with that, because the defaults always worked for me 
;)

You could try to look up php->mysql in PHP documentation and do the connect 
in a test script:

<?php
/** @see http://php.net/manual/de/function.mysql-connect.php */
$test = mysql_connect('localhost:3306', 'root', 'password');
?>

You might want to check if selinux (does Mac OS X have such a think?) is 
allowed to make remote connections.
