What happens when you use:

 

<?php
$db_host = "host";
$db_usernamen = "username";
$db_pass = "password"
$db_name = "database name";

mysql_connect($db_host, $db_username, $db_pass) or die ("couldnot connect to mysql");
mysql_select_db("db_name") or die ("no database");
?>

 

and

 

<?php
require("connect_to_mysql.php");

echo "<h1>success in database connection! happy coding</h1>";
?>

 

?

Also, if all you're seeing is a blank screen, you might be receiving an error but have warnings turned off in your php.ini file.

You're missing the line terminating semicolon here: $db_pass = "password".
