Hmm, is the client forcing you to log in?  If it is an authentication
failure, is it possible you are failing to send the user and pass for the
database?  I know the stuff I do in php requires me to log into the
database before the script can run.  This is done automatically... the
script connects to the database, sends that info, and then goes from
there.
