My page renders blank when calling mysql_connect();

[GrahamWong]

Hi. I am running Windows 2003 server with latest PHP.

Here is my php file contents:

start
<?php
echo "hello"
$con = mysql_connect();
?>

It should show "start hello" when executed, but instead it shows a blank page when I add the line

$con = mysql_connect();

Anyone know what is happening? Is there a log somewhere?

Your mysql library is not install turn on your error messages in php.ini

 

setting to be changed

 

display_errors = On
error_reporting = E_ALL

Well mysql_connect() takes 3 arguments.

 

$con = mysql_connect($server, $username, $password) or die(mysql_error());

 

Fill in the variables.
