Parsing is...halting?

Hello, I've been setting up my own website, developing on my local machine. I've got PHP and Apache and all that working, and everything has been running smoothly until I started trying to do things with the database. I try to load the page and it does nothing; blank white page. I started commenting out lines to find where it happens, and its due to this line:

$conn = mysql_connect("$location","$username","$password");

So it's having problems connecting to the database or something?? I don't know what to do, if anybody could help me I would greatly appreciate it.

Here's the full code for it:

<?php
$conn = mysql_connect("$location","$username","$password");
if (!$conn) die("Could not connect MySQL");
mysql_select_db($database,$conn) or die("Could not open database");

echo 'database connected<br>';
?>

I dont get any of those output messages. If it was working, wouldnt it output "database connected"?

I have this code included at the very start of a page. None of that page loads, it just gets to the
$conn = mysql_connect("$location","$username","$password");
line and does no more after that.
