Jump to PostOkay, questionaire:
- Do you have Apache server? Start it.
- Do you have MySQL server? Start it.
Create a file called
config.php, put inside<?php $sql_un = "root"; // default: "root"; $sql_pd = ""; // default: ""; $sql_db = ""; // you will need to create database …

mysqlis how the database is called, but there has been an update to it calledmysqliwhich is essentially just "MySQL improved", I think you need to upgrade your SQL server. The file should be put inside ofhtdocsorwwwfolder, but you already figured that out.

<?php
$sql_un = "root"; // default: "root";
$sql_pd = ""; // default: "";
$sql_db = ""; // you will need to create database and input here it's name
$sql_conn = mysqli_connect("127.0.0.1", $sql_un, $sql_pd, $sql_db);
if (!$sql_conn) {
die("Something didn't work, the file couldn't connect to database!");
}
echo "File's request has been successfully sent and answer received.";
?>
I don't get the <?php echo 'DDD'; ?> part... what about it?
i just did so i see what it returns without connecting to db. Where shall i put the config file?
nothing still a blank page
ok. when i use this $sql_conn = mysql_connect("127.0.0.1", $sql_un, $sql_pd, $sql_db); it replies File's request has been successfully sent and answer received.
when i leave it as you send it to me$sql_conn = mysqli_connect("127.0.0.1", $sql_un, $sql_pd, $sql_db);
it returns a blank page

mysqli extension not enabled in the php.ini?
yes thats the issue i was using wos portable and it doesnt supports php 5.4, only php 4 thats why ive been having problems. For future reference i had problems. as
