Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user '****'@'localhost' (using password: NO) Options

Hi guys, I can't fathom this at all so I was hoping someone had come across this before, when you go on the website news.php is loaded automatically by index.php as the pages default content. However, click "News" to reload news.php or click "Contacts" and then go back to "News" and the second time it loads it fails with:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'default_user'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/default_user/public_html/mav/web/pages/news.php on line 2
Connect Fail:Access denied for user 'default_user'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

The code to connect to the database is this:
"default_user", "forum_user" and "forum_password" are used instead of actual login details for obvious reasons.
config.php

CODE

$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_user = 'forum_user';
$db_pass = 'forum_password';

index.php

CODE

include 'config.php';
include 'pages/news.php';

news.php

CODE

$con = mysql_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_pass);
if (!$con)
    {
    die('Connect Fail:' . mysql_error());
    }    
$db_select = mysql_select_db(sever_ipb3, $con);
if (!$db_select)
    {
    die ("DB Select fail:" . mysql_error());
    }

However, if I change the code in news.php to type in the variables manually like this:
news.php

CODE

$con = mysql_connect(localhost,forum_user,forum_password);
if (!$con)
    {
    die('Connect Fail:' . mysql_error());
    }    
$db_select = mysql_select_db(sever_ipb3, $con);
if (!$db_select)
    {
    die ("DB Select fail:" . mysql_error());
    }

Then it works every time... So why is it not picking up config.php the second time? index includes it and as the page never refreshes index.php is always the master page, just loading different pages into a div.


Any help would be so so appreciated.
