Hi,
First of all I am new to all this.

I have installed apache 2.0.54,php5 and mysql 4.1.
mysql works because I can access it on command line.
I have run simple php script the usual phpinfo that works.

when I run the following code

<?php
echo 'started'
$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "password") or die('error'.mysql_error());
echo "Connected";
mysql_close($conn);
?>

All I get is 'started' no error messages, what am I doing WRONG ?
I know the problem is with the connection because if i remove it the script runs to the end.

any help will be appreicated.
thanks.
