[SOLVED] Headache with php and mysql...

[Jeatin]

Ok so I used to get the "unknown mysql_query" I did everything and finally got it fixed... BUT now I get nothing... No errors nothing. I used the sample script that tells you if you have connected to the database correctly and... Nothing just a blank page. I'm so confused and frustrated I thought I had fixed it but now I don't know whats going wrong. *Sighs* Someone please help! Thank you.

Show us code.

You can see it doesn't list mysql for some reason even though I no longer have the mysql line commented out AND I have the libsql in the ext folder that is in the php.ini

Here is the code for the connection checker I'm using:

<?php
// Connecting, selecting database
$link = mysql_connect('mysql_host', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password')
    or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_select_db('my_database') or die('Could not select database');
?>

seems to me like the mysql service isnt started, php cant help it if thats the case

But i am not sure, there is nothing wrong with your code thats for sure

 

edit: or there could be any number of less likely possibilities

Thats the thing. When I hit the database with sqlyog it works! And the service is in services.msc. Is there anything specific I need to do to have php pick up the service? Or is it a totally different service?
