mysql_connect() not working from web (Newbie)

I just installed MySQL on my IIS 6.0 (Windows 2003 Server).
I am just trying certain operations to make sure MySQL server is working properly.

when I try to use the mysql_connect() function it works from command line on the server computer but not from a an http call. For example (code from test.php):

<html>
<TITLE> This is a Drag </TITLE>
<?PHP



$a = 0;
echo $a;
mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'passy');
echo $a;
mysql_select_db('wordpress') or die(mysql_error());
echo $a;

mysql_query("CREATE TABLE testerrrr(id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, PRIMARY KEY(id), name VARCHAR(30), age INT)")
or die(mysql_error()); 

echo $a;

?>

<\html>



from command line:

C:\PHP\php.exe C:\inetpub\wwwroot\test.php

output:
<html>
<title> this is a drag </title>
0000
</html>

(AND the table is created)


from www.yourname.com/test.php
output:

0

(no table created)

--------------------------------------

This means that the test.php is dying when i Try to call the mysql_connect funtion.
I have tried using 127.0.0.1 for localhost... localhost:port... and many other variations. Now remember I am a newbie and I might be doing something very simple wrong. It might not even be possible. Anyhow, I appreciate the input everyone!

Thanks Again.
Jon
