[snip] I am a new mysql user. I installed a MySQL, PHP and Apache on my computer with Windows XP. All my php scripts run fine unless I try to connect to mysql <?php echo "start here"; $a = mysql_connect("localhost", "test", "test"); echo $a; echo "stop here"; ?> I don't get any response even error message and page source looks like <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> start here I guess that I am doing something very stupid - still could anybody help me?

Try this... if(!($dbconnect = mysql_connect("localhost", "test", "test"))){ echo mysql_error() . "\n"; exit(); } It will give you a more descriptive error if there is one -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
