problem with php, mysql and apache

I'm pretty new to php/mysql, im used to java/jsp/mssql.  I'm just trying to set it up at this point.  When I run a simple php script it works fine (ie: I can get the date etc.)  Now I'm trying to just do a simple database connection script that should print out the list of databases.  When I run it I get a completely blank screen.  I have asterisked out the username/pword but I am 100% certain they are accurate. 

 

<?php

$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "***", "***");

$result = mysql_list_dbs($conn);

 

while($db_data = mysql_fetch_row($result)){

echo "<b> $db_data[0] </b><br>";

}

?>

 

When I go to view source, I get absolutely nothing.  This tells me that the code isn't getting into the while loop (since there is html in the while loop, yet nothing is being printed out.)  is this correct logic? 

 

Does anyone know whats wrong?

 

Many thanks in advance

You also never select a database.

 

Thanks for the help so far.

 

I dunno I just copied it out of a book.  I think it's supposed to just print out all the databases's names. 

 

Either way, I tried doing that but my PHP folder doesn't have a subfolder call \ext

 

It compiles php fine, but no ext folder.  weird...anyone?
