Very basic problem with php

[turkman]

I've just installed apache, mysql and php in windows. Ive got the apache server running and the mysql server running and i assume the php is working.

Ive set my intranet as a html/css based page and one of the links on that page is a link to

 

text.php - when this script contains something simple like

 

<?php

echo 'this is a test';

?>

then when i click on the link in my intranet and i get the result output onto the new webpage.

 

However if i add something more to it like

 

<?php

$dbhost = 'Brnew.home:3306';
$dbuser= 'root';
$dbpass= 'mypass';
$dbname = 'intranet';

$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die
	    ('Error Connecting to mysql');


mysql_select_db($dbname);

echo 'database opened';

mysql_select_db('intranet') or die('Cannot select database'); 

$query = 'CREATE TABLE contacts( '.
         'cid INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, '.
         'cname VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, '.
         'cemail VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, '.
         'cnumber VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL, '.
         'cinfo TEXT NOT NULL, '.
         'PRIMARY KEY(cid))';

$result = mysql_query($query);


mysql_close($conn);



?>

 

 

Then when i click the link in my intranet it dosent display the page, i get an error saying this page cannot be displayed

There is most likely an error with that php code. If you are using internet explorer go to

tools >> internet options >> click on the advanced tab >> under the browsing tab uncheck the box "show friendly http error messages"

and then look at the page...it will show you the php error and not "page cannot be displayed"
