Problems connecting the page with MySql database!

[moerpheus]

hi guys,
i have problems regarding PHP. I cant connect the php page with mysql database. I have installed everything as far as I know. i have changed the conifiguration files. but still i cant access the database via the pages!

im creating a recruitment site(job search) and people should add, edit and delete data on the web.

the apache compiles/runs the php but when i add the "mysql_connect" line the page gets blank!.. i dont know why!

Please help me, this is an important project for me.
thanking you in adavnce.

stick this at the top of the file and run it again

ini_set("display_errors", "1");
error_reporting (E_ALL);

Once we can see an error, then maybe someone can better diagnose the issue.

Also stick a die command after your mysql_connect() function do this

mysql_connect(blah blah blah) or die(mysql_error());

First check
<a href="http://www.webwizguide.com/kb/asp_knowledgebase/500_internal_server_error.asp">here</a>

Here's an example of a connection code.

$con=mysql_connect("localhost","userName","Password");
  if (!$con){
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

if(!mysql_select_db('databaseName')){
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
