This is posted by another user and I am also trying for answers at the
MySql-PHP list:

When entering the following, I do not get a response in any fashion from the
developmental server on my system, just a blank page. Any ideas how I can
complete the connection?





$dbServer='localhost';
$dbUser='root';
$dbPass='';
$dbName='test';
$link = mysql_connect("$dbServer", "$dbUser", "$dbPass") or die("Could not
connect");
print "Connected Successfully
";
mysql_select_db("$dbName") or die("Could not select database");
print "Database selected successfully
";
mysql_close($link);
?>

Vince,

Maybe add mysql_error() inside your die statment after trying to connect:
$link = mysql_connect("$dbServer", "$dbUser", "$dbPass") or die("Could not
connect" . mysql_error());

1. $link =3D mysql_connect($dbServer, $dbUser, $dbPass) or die("Could not=

connect");

2. mysql_select_db($dbName) or die("Could not select database");

I removed the characters " because those are variables.
