PHP doesn't recognize MySQL

Anon

Hi,

I installed Apache, PHP4 and MySQL on my Windows 2000 machine for local testing. I thought I installed everything correctly, because I can run PHPMyAdmin, and it recognizes the database. But when I write my own scripts in PHP, it doesn't seem to connect to MySQL. I don't get any error messages (even the Apache error log is clean), and the PHP script parses, except that it doesn't receive any data from MySQL. I tried it with a very simple query output, but I don't get anything. I don't even know what to fix, because I'm getting no error messages.

I'm desperate, please help if you can.

Thanks,
Johen

Post your PHP code you are using to connect to the database.

i am having the very same problem. In my case i am attempting to install a guestbook that works with php and mysql. When i get to the install.php page and i click the install button.....nothing happens. All this is done on a cobalt raq4 with linux as OS.

this is the install.php code:
