INVALID_LOGIN issue

Hi, I'm getting a persistent INVALID_LOGIN problem...

I am 100% sure the username and password are right.  I cut and paste them into the web login and that worked. 
The wsdl is a fresh download from this morning and it is accessible in that spot.



here's the code.  it's just a little POC for connecting to SF via PHP api and nothing is doing yet:

ini_set("soap.wsdl_cache_enabled", "0");
require_once (DIR_FS_SF_SOAP_CLIENT.'SforceEnterpriseClient.php');
require_once (DIR_FS_SF_SOAP_CLIENT.'SforceHeaderOptions.php');

try
{

   
    $mySforceConnection = new SforceEnterpriseClient ();
    $mySoapClient = $mySforceConnection->createConnection(DIR_FS_SF_SOAP_CLIENT."enterprise.wsdl.xml");
    $mylogin = $mySforceConnection->login("XXX", "YYY");

      $userResult = $mylogin->userInfo;
      print_r($userResult);
      echo $userResult->userFullName.', your session id is '.$mylogin->sessionId;

      $query = 'SELECT * FROM Opportunity';
      $response = $mySforceConnection->query(($query));

      print_r($response);

      foreach ($response->records as $record)
      {
       print_r($record);
      }

      print_r($mySforceConnection->getLastRequest());

      $bagent = $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"];
      echo '<b>USER AGENT:</b> '.$bagent.'<br><br>';

}
catch (Exception $e)
{
  echo $e->faultstring;
}

What's the associated error text that you get ?

Simon,  thanks for the reply.

Test is: " INVALID_LOGIN: Invalid username or password or locked out."

The account is not locked out and both username and password are correct!

Make sure that the account you are using to login has API access, look under Setup->Users->your user and check the API box.

Thanks for the info, Alex.  Actually, I figured this out with help from SF support.  The issue was my password had a $ in it, which is a no no on the PHP side.  Works fine as a login for SF, but when trying to pass it in a SOAP header it's not escaped propoerly, or something. 

Anyway, took the $ out and everything went fine.

Ahhhh!! I had this same problem. Can someone post the proper way to escape non-standard characters in a SOAP login?

should be a \ I think.  I been meaning to put my login back to what it was but I haven't.
