Hi,

I'm running MySQL 4.0.21, Apache 2.0.52 and PHP 5.0.2 on a Windows XP
system. I can run scripts with PHP and HTML statements and see correct
output in my browser. But when I try to connect to MySQL I get nothing,
including no error messages.

One book I have says to run the following scrip to test the connection. It
should print either the Resource name or an error message:

<?php
echo mysql_connect ('localhost','calendar','pass1234'); # host, user,
password
?>

I get no output at all, and if the statement is placed in a larger script,
above html/PHP output, it suppresses that as well.

Using the mysql monitor from the DOS command prompt, I can connect as user
'calendar' with password 'pass1234', select a database and execute SQL
statements successfully.

Can anyone help me figure out why I can't seem to connect, please?

Linda
