If this is a windows computer, you might want to try adding C:\PHP (or whatever directory your PHP resides) into the path. I read somewhere that this needs to be done for PHP5 and MySQL. Not sure if it was true but seemed to clear up the problems I was having getting the 2 to talk to either other. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Louie Loria [mailto:michaellouieloria@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, September 19, 2005 2:19 AM To: php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Problem with mysql_connect(...) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 > Hello. > > I'm trying to connect to my MySQL server with mysql_connect(...).

The funny thing is that not only does the function call fail, but I'm not even getting the text defined by die("..."). It seems that the function call is more or less a black hole. Of course the rest of the script doesn't execute either, I'm just left with a blank page. > > I didn't use to have this problem before (using PHP 5 now instead of 4). check your configurations again. Try checking as if it was a fresh install of PHP5 php5apache2.dll is for PHP5 and probably you httpd.conf stills contains php4apache2.dll Michael Louie Loria -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Public Key: https://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x4A256EC8 Comment: Public Key: http://www.lorztech.com/GPG.txt Comment: Google, Skype, Yahoo ID: michaellouieloria iQEVAwUBQy6Cd7XBHi2y3jwfAQpZ/Qf/WE5JesJT5FtecqonOOsgsHvEnWXatzWQ T/ajJxAcFXftSP8xbxs2z4HZqagwD05PIKN4Jqff+ibqY7zWp74J910ibyDNyHab Ui9StkzWuuNvmbg/N8QIlNXbxUqFIugjaJargKnPrtH2X8wl+nHJ1hZf4huQhrX9 7xJb3tgaI521IC8c+h+w1SIG5tt90Vcp6U9m21pnbwEfj01nky95JTuD1+6yWZD+ pZlJ7qrFzTgbKKty1kshIG42wvPuDLrHBayb9+aKo5LeX/Qbfab7iueUMJDoNxAO j+NwG/x8R/qb5eqGuhcMNmYn+GxwiQdawk1c4hGj4nN6BGFsGf67vg== =VUIf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --- avast!
