No error thrown after fail to connect to MySQL Database.

[richardstan]

Hi, I have the following function in a file called SQL.php:

 

function connectDatabase($hostname, $user, $pass){

$link = @mysql_connect($hostname, $user, $pass);
if(!$link){
	print "<br>Failed to Connect to SQL Server";
}
else{
	print "<br>Connected to SQL Server";
}
return $link;


}

 

Another file calls this function after using include("SQL.php"). However, there is no message saying whether the connection was successful or not.

 

$hostname = "localhost";
$user = "****";
$pass = "****";
$link = connectDatabase($hostname, $user, $pass);

 

I know that the SQL.php file is working fine because I have made it so a message comes up when there are no code errors.

 

Can someone tell me why this might happen?

 

Thanks

Richard.

Add the following two lines immediately after your first opening <?php tag in your main file -

 

ini_set ("display_errors", "1");
error_reporting(E_ALL);
