I took an example of a script from the PHP documentation and try to connect
to my database. If I leave in the or die part of line 3, I get nothing, if
I comment out that part I get the echo message on line 4.
<?php
// Connecting and selecting the database
$conn = mysql_connect ('localhost', 'finemanruss', 'XXXXXXXl') or die ('Could
not connect : ' . mysql_error());
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_select_db ("Lions", $conn);
// Preform SQL query
$query = 'SELECT * FROM Moses_Lake_Lions';
$result = mysql_query ($query) or die ( 'Query failed; ' . mysql_error());
?>
I know line three works without the or die part since I have a 2nd script that
is almost the same (no or die) and it retrieves info from my DB.
Try it the same as the php manual page:
$conn = mysql_connect('....');
if (!$conn) {
die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
}
