nothingme

Hello there, I'm using a Mac (10.5. and installed MAMP for PHP and MYSQL I trying to build a blog. I just setup a database in phpmyadmin. I created a php and start coding, everything works just fine, but when I tried to connect to the mysql it gives me a blank page I inserted this code <?php session_start(); $connect = mysql_connect('localhost','root', 'root'); or die(mysql_error()); $db = mysql_select_db('blog',$connect); $session_name = $_SESSION['uid']; ?> but then the whole page turns to be blank page , but when I excluded this, it works just fine. I don't get it cause my database/phpmyadmin connected just fine. Any help is much appreciated. Been trying to figure this out for hours.
