phpmyadmin is a popular database management script that is written in php and is installed on web servers to allow you to manage your mysql databases. mysql is a database server. You are likely trying to connect to a mysql database server in your php script.

 

White pages can be caused by errors and the errors don't show up because php's error_reporting/display_errors/log_errors settings are not set appropriately, by using short open tags on servers that don't support them, or by code that simply does not output anything to the browser because it did not receive the input that it expected (plus about 3-4 less common reasons.)

 

What have you done to investigate what your code and data are doing on the page that doesn't work? Your other pages that do work are irrelevant, because it is something specifically that you are doing on the page the doesn't work that is causing the problem.

 

When you do a 'view source' of the white page, what do you get?

 

Do you have php's error_reporting set to E_ALL (or even better a -1) and display_errors set to ON in your master php.ini on your development system and you have confirmed that they are properly set by using a phpinfo statement and you are also not modifying the values in a local php.ini, in a .htaccess file, or in your script so that all php detected errors will be reported and displayed?

 

Are you sure your code is doing anything? Have you tried to echo something so that you know your code is taking the execution path you think it is?

 

Lastly, we cannot help you with anything your code for a page is doing without seeing all the code that makes up that page (less any database credentials.)
