[SOLVED] I am having a hard time

[ccrevcypsys]

connecting to my database.

Every time i put the code in the page just turns blank. It doesnt make sence...

Im hosting off of localhost at my office.

heres my code

$user ="root";
$pass ="";
$db ="nnds";
$link = @mysql_connect ("localhost", $user, $pass );
if( !$link){
die("Couldn't Connect To MySQL: ".mysql_error() );
}
print "<h2> Successfully connected to database \"$db\"<br /> \n";

$mysql_select_db( $db )
  or die ( "Couldn't open $db: ".mysql_error() );

mysql_close( $link );

You are not picking a database to log into.

Blank pages are usually caused by fatal parse or fatal runtime errors. Check your web server log for errors or turn on full php error reporting in php.ini or a .htaccess file (turning on error reporting in your script will not show fatal parse errors because your script never runs.)

Now your succes message is  before you even connect to the DB.

i fixed it but now i have this code

<?php
$user ="root";
$pass ="dragon";
$db ="nnds";
$link = @mysql_connect ("localhost", $user );
if( !$link){
die("Couldn't Connect To MySQL: ".mysql_error() );
}
mysql_select_db( $db )
  or die ( "Couldn't open $db: ".mysql_error() );
print "<h2> Successfully connected to Server \"$db\"<br /> \n";
  
mysql_close( $link );
?>

and now i get this error

Fatal error: Function name must be a string in C:\xampp\htdocs\nnds\admin\aztmoprtmphli1135388593938274\newEdit.php on line 9
