Question

I have the following code running on Apache 2.2 with PHP 5.3.3:

<html>
<body>
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

echo "Connecting...";

$conn = mysql_connect('127.0.0.1:3306','root','*******') or die('Error connecting to mysql');

echo 'Connected.';
?>
</body>
</html>

And it prints out "Connecting...", but nothing else. Doesn't even throw an error. I went through all the steps that were obvious. help?

Was it helpful?

Solution

error_reporting(E_ALL); might sometimes not do it. Use it in combination with:

ini_set('display_errors', 1);

and see if it returns an error then :)

OTHER TIPS

Test skipping the port notation since you are specifying the default port anyways.

What does your Apache error log say?

What does var_dump($conn) print out?

<?php
$conn = mysql_connect('127.0.0.1:3306','root','*******')
if (!$conn ) {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($conn );
?>
