I'm not sure if this will help you or not, but try adding this to the bottom (seen this as a common practice)

D'oh! That does it. Thanks Robby.
Blindly copy'n'paste-ing a line with the wrong netmask did NOT help!

But while I'm here - how does PHP connect? If rejecting connections from the local machine and from 127.0.0.1 didn't do the trick, why not? (Or is that getting into network issues and I needed the host's IP address?)

Cath,
It depends, is the php (on apache I assume) running on the same machine? If it is, than usually rejecting 127.0.0.1 will do the trick (given that the /etc/hosts file has an entry for localhost). If it's a remote connection, than you will need to look at all your configuration settings to try and determine this issue.

Glad that other bit of info helped though.
