connect to mysql with php

[Pat kilgore]

Thanks but none of that code works.
I have the die statement but it doesn't output anything.
After the first line of the connect statement no more code will execute.
Also,no html that comes after that statement in the php page is returned to 
the browser.
Maybe related is fact that errors are not being returned to browser, even 
though they are enabled in php.ini

Hi Pat:

Here are some links addressing your question which may help:

1.  http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/connect-to-mysql-using-php.php

2.  http://php.about.com/od/phpwithmysql/qt/mysql_connect.htm

3.  http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/php-mysql/php_mysql_connection.htm

According to link 1, you may have left out an "n" and it may be a good
idea to follow the example and have an error statement embedded
reminding you when something breaks.

Applying the example in link 1 to your code the correction could be:

$conn = mysql_connect ("localhost", "root") or die ('Error connecting to
mysql');

Good Luck ... Derick.
