Blank Page???

[slevytam]

Hello,

I am baffled.

I installed php and mysql on iis6 with seemly no problems. the mysql service is running and i can log in created tables and databases with no problems.

php only pages work fine; however today I tried to use php to connect to a database for the first time and all I get is a blank page.

i have narrowed it down to the basic line
$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass")
or die ("Could not connect");

as soon as I include this line I get a blank page and none of the script executes.

I could really use some help. my os is windows server 2003.

thank you,

You have to print something from the table if you want anything but a blank page.

Example:

$sql="SELECT * FROM table"; 
$result=mysql_db_query("database", "$sql");
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { 
echo $row["column"]; ?
}

Just change table, database and column to your own names.

This is not the problem.

I accidently installed php 5 instead of 4 and php 5 doesn't have mysql support yet.

thanks,
