mac_gyver Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 you are likely getting a fatal runtime error. do you have php's error_reporting set to E_ALL and display_errors set to ON in your php.ini on your development system so that php would report and display all the errors it detects?

Jacques1 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Why do you tell PDO that the database system is running on port 80? That's the port for HTTP, i. e. your webserver. The default port for MySQL is 3306. Unless you've changed this setting, just leave out the port parameter. // Actually, this makes no sense at all. “localhost” means that you're connecting via a Unix domain socket. On the other hand, the port indicates that you're trying to connect via a network socket (IP + port). So which one is it?

echosara Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 i added error reporting to the script to make it like this <?php $db = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test", "root", ""); var_dump($db); error_reporting(E_ALL); i would like to turn on display_errors on in php.ini; however i am having a hard time locating that in my wamp server. can you provide any directory to guide me.

Jacques1 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 It doesn't help to turn on error reporting after the error has happened. You obviously need to do that before the error, either in the php.ini file or on top of the script. The phpinfo() function tells you where your php.ini file is located.
