$db_name = "web";
$table_name = "candidates";
$connection = @mysql_connect("test", "tst", "test") or die(mysql_error());
$db = @mysql_select_db($db_name, $connection) or die(mysql_error());

remove the "@" from the code

That @ is surpressing any errors that there are

removed @ no luck, page still is blank, any other ideas?

trooper

You removed all of the @?

Also in the php.ini file there is a line

display_errors =

it needs to be set to on and also the error_level in the php ini should be something like

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~ E_NOTICE

Check them out

i have removed all the @ in that file
