Nevermind guys, we got it. Now that php is operating with MySQL, the code I had worked perfect. Thanks for all your help!!

The server belongs to the IT consultation firm that I am working with. Any PHP installation was done prior to my involvement. It is a Linux server, and I'm not sure about the installation, and the server owner is tinkering now trying to get it to with mysql. If you have any ideas on how to do this, we would appreciate it

Thanks - I finally got something on the page: Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /var/www/html/test.php.txt on line 13 Link 13 reads: mysql_connect('localhost', 'myusername', 'mypass') or die (mysql_error()); Looking into this, I concluded that I needed to check phpinfo, which I did. I found '--without-mysql' and, from what I read, this is incorrect. The explanations I could find for changing this was a little vague - do I change it through putty? Thanks for all the help so far

I didn't get any errors - all I got was a blank page. This is the same thing I get when I try connecting. PHP in general is working fine for me, so it would seem that this is an issue with connecting to MySQL specifically. For the record, I used a sample database and block of PHP code to try it out, and I got the same error. If it's not syntax related, is there anything else that would be causing the connection issue?

I have been playing around with it, and the PHP codes I use seem to work fine. But when trying to connect to my MySQL database, I get a blank page. I guess that is my primary issue. I have a block of code that *should* be working right, but I'm stuck. I suppose the better question would be "how do I know if I'm connecting to my database?" I have been doing my best to find the info myself though online tutorials, I'm hesitant to buy books at their costs with no idea of how well the content will match my needs. Could you at least recommend a good site for MySQL/PHP?

I am a recent grad who has worked with SQL a bit, so I have my simple table all set with some sample data filled in. I am doing my first bit of coding "in real life" for a start-up business. I know I need PHP to display the information. It's simple - a table showing the info from the four columns in the MySQL table. PHP is something I haven't worked with, but I did have a little practice with programming [in general - the logic, etc.] in college. I would really appreciate some direction on how I go about doing this. All I need it a little success with my results... I've Googled away and nothing works for me. I've done my best, but I'm spending hours and getting nowhere. My process: Type code in notepad --> FTP to server --> test in browser I haven't installed anything on my PC... should I? This would be pretty big for my career, so thank you to anyone that can help
